Wetzel, they started in the outpost. The PS there loaded all four very quickly.

I don't advocate using this strategy, especially since it's borderline at best. Once the GDC figures out what will happen (probably within hours of the use), they will issue a clarification, possibly to the teams via an update/Q&A, and almost certainly to the refs via other channels.

I can appreciate the Robonauts' honesty in telling the head ref that if the rule is being enforced the way it is, they will likely do it often. This will call out the effect of this ruling, which will help the GDC in clarifying.
