Answered: Gravity Loader for Driver Loads

[MichaelMc]

We are trying to use a “half pipe ramp” for driver loads that takes the balls to our guy who then puts it into the robot. It is not part of the robot. the balls do not directly enter the robot, and it is not breaking the field of play at any point. Is this legal?

This is illegal. Teams may not bring any devices to assist with the loading or storage of Driver Control Loads into the Alliance Station. This can be seen in <G5a>
