• Contacting one Robot of the same Alliance color as the Preload.
• Not contacting the same Preload as another Robot.
• Not contacting other Scoring Objects.
• Not contacting any other Goals, Loaders, Load Zones, or Toggles. Note: If a Robot is not present for their Match, then that Robot’s Preload may be used as a Match Load in accordance with <SG11>. This rule has additional Violation notes. See Appendix C.
