Human Player During Sandstorm

Once your robot scores the preloaded piece, is it allowed to pick up and score an additional piece(s) from the human player (through the loading station of course)?

I could be wrong but I believe one hatch pane is loaded per side but other then that you can’t reload it

There should be a hatch in the human player station feeder at the beginning of the match. Thus, it’s possible for an alliance to score 3 game pieces held on the robot at the start of the match plus 2 hatches, 1 from each player station.

Thanks, clears it up!

Human players aren’t allowed to cross the alliance lines to reload the stations, but the robot is allowed to take preloaded hatch panels from the stations during sandstorm. Of course, robots can also grab cargo from the depots at any time as well.

As has been stated, there is another hatch panel in each loading station at the beginning of the match. Thus, unless teams find a way to give each other their hatch covers during the sandstorm / auto, the maximum number of hatch covers placed for a team is capped at 3, and that’s if you are the only ones using the hatch panels in the loading stations.
