2471: Loading Balls During Autonomous Programming
Can I please get a clarification on the loading of the balls for autonomous programming?
Revised <SG5b>, <SG5d> and Note 2 of <SG5> to state that Rapid Load Balls must be placed by a Loader in a stationary position, and may not be rolled or bounced into a Robot
So according to this the balls cannot be rolled to the intake. So can the balls be placed directly in front of the intake by a human loader from outside the field in a continuous method for the robot to intake the balls and shoot from one position on the field?

If Rapid Load Balls are introduced in a way that meets the requirements of all rules, including <SG5>, there are no guidelines for the speed at which Balls are introduced or how the Robot operates.
