Ruling for what defines being at the auto-loader

[Andrew Schuetze]

I have not sat down and spent hours reading all of the rules. Is there a definition of what qualifies as being at the auto load station? You are allowed to load one tetra at a time. Stands to reason that one could back away and return for a second before heading out to score goals. Is there any language that details what qualifies for not being at the station and for how long before a tetra is replaced at the station? Would it get replaced if a sufficiently long enough arm retrieved one, capped a goal and then retrieved a second tetra without moving the robot from it's location some distance away from the station which would not be considered "at the station"?

Thanks in advance to those who point me to quotes from the 2005 handbook.
