Interesting Strategy Question

Competition Rules/Strategy
1

Although I’m guessing this is illegal, could you preplace a hatch panel in the loading station before the match so you could grab it during the sandstorm?

In the game manual, 5.1.1 A says “one (1) HATCH PANEL is loaded in each of the two (2) LOADING STATIONS” I believe that means that it must be preloaded.

5.1.1 says that hatch panels are already pre-loaded in the loading stations, so robots can grab them during sandstorm if they want to. It’s a FIRST miracle!

Thanks!
