<S1> states:
<S1> If at any time the Robot operation or team actions are deemed unsafe or have damaged the Field Elements or Scoring Objects, by the determination of the referees, the offending team may be Disabled and/or Disqualified. The Robot will require re-inspection before it may again take the field.
a. Teams should be extra cautious when interacting with Scoring Objects. Any damage such as scuffs or punctures can be ruled as a violation of <S1>.
b. Teams may not make contact with the High Goal. Minor violations of this rule will result in a warning. Egregious offenses will result in a Disablement and/or Disqualification.
<SG6> states:
<SG6> Any Scoring Objects introduced during the Match as Driver Control Loads must be either gently placed on a Robot of your own color touching the Loading Zone or gently entered into the Loading Zone of your own color, by a Student Drive Team Member during the Driver Controlled Period. The intent of this rule is to allow teams to introduce objects into play, but not to impart energy on the Scoring Object which will cause it to end up in a position outside the Loading Zone. It is expected that teams may momentarily break the plane of the field while legally introducing Driver Control Loads. Teams should be very mindful of <S1> during this process.
For my robot, I will be loading balls in front of it while it is backed up in the corner, as shown in the picture attached below (yes, that is a Skyrise robot ). Would this be a violation of <S1>?
Thank you!

Yes, this would be legal provided that you keep your hands away from any active spinning mechanisms on the Robot. We want to make sure fingers a safe distance away from high speed wheels!
