Re: Regarding <G13> - placement of the tetra by the human player.

It's been previously proven that the "optimal" place to get a tetra is from the auto-load station preferred over the human-load station; see other threads.

That being stated, the auto-load station is "X" inches off the floor. Why then would you want to add to the robot complexity by introducing a "new" position to some other height than what is already programmed in for the auto-load pick-up height.

Also, a floor-height pick-up position simply makes the human player do that much more work (bending, etc). It also introduces the risk that the human player (in bending over the field border) may also mistakenly come into contact with the robot (a rule violation)
