Grabbing 4 Bins from the step in Auto

[ruralrobotics]

Does anyone know if you can be touching the recycling bins before autonomous? I'm thinking of an arm that would be hooked onto the handle but not lifting or pulling before the game starts. You could place the robot in the middle open zone and have it reaching over the bins and latched on to the handle or top of the bin. I have looked throughout the rules and can't find anything that wouldn't allow this.
