Automated Loader without being in loading zone

The rules dictate that in order to use to manual loader, you have to be in the loading zone, etc, but the way the rules of the autoloader are written, it makes it sound like you don't have to be in the loading zone to pluck a tetra from the side.

We were toying with the idea of using a sort of arm to grab the tetra with the bot outside the automatic loading zone, and then use it like a crane to quickly cap a goal. The rules never actually say that we have to be in the loading zone to get a tetra. Also, since we're outside the loading zone, we're still exposed to other robotcs without penalty.

Just curious, as the manual was unclear about it.
