Could the robot hole the tote shoot door open?

Are you able to move stack of crates over to the human station and then put them into the chute?

The limitations I found are:

1) G5: Only 1 HP in the Human Player Zone (can't have someone bring them to you, but someone could push them over the line)
2) G13: Can't move totes until the game starts. So, during Autonomus, you can start moving the Totes to the Starting Line.

Just to put this to rest: Team Update #1 specifically banned using anything to hold the door open.

Section 3 - The Game
Section 3.2.1 - Safety
G6-1 DRIVE TEAMS may not use any object to prop the CHUTE DOOR open.
VIOLATION: RED CARD

Rich wins this one for the rule used to outlaw holding the door open.

The only restrictions are: 1 human player in each human player station, and you can't touch totes during auto move totes into the human player station during auto.

Can you please point to the rule saying human players (or drivers) cannot touch the totes during auto?

There actually isnt a direct rule about totes, only G33 which talks about litter being introduced only during teleop. Someone should ask on the Q&A.

G19. To clarify, the rule doesn't say you can't touch the totes but since you can't go past the starting line you can't move totes into the human player station during auto which I believe was relevant to OPs question.

So if the HUMAN PLAYER's hand slips off the handle while the tote is still underneath, so that the CHUTE DOOR is propped open by the TOTE, your team is disqualified? Seems a bit harsh.

I would be really surprised if this happened. Unless it was intentional & affected game play.

Might be worth asking the Q&A for a clarification. That does seem harsh, though maybe if it's an accident then it's not the drive team propping it open but rather "luck" or something propping it open.

Please check the Team Update called The Noodle Agreement. It specifies a new change about this topic.

And there's really no benefit to the alliance if this happens, since the chute is now completely blocked by a tote. So I really doubt the refs would call that, especially if the human player immediately rectifies the situation.

From our experiments, once that tote starts to slide out, it's not stopping. We don't have the real door setup, but I really doubt that it would be able to "pin" the tote like that.
