2579: Ball Loading Through the Load Station


5981A
26-Feb-2025

Once a ball legally enters the loading station and passes through it does the robot have to retrieve ball from the load zone itself, or can it be loaded in a way that bypasses the load zone and enters the field directly -similar to a spin entry? According to the Q&A, the ball does not need to make contact with the load zone floor <SG4>

We're not certain that we're understanding your question, but we believe that our answer to Q&A 2428 applies here as well.

Provided the human Loader meets all requirements of <SG4> and causes no damage to the Loading Station, Ball, or other Field Element, there is no rule against Loaders attempting to influence how the Ball exits the Loading Station.
