We ask you to please thoroughly read the VEX Skyrise Game Manual and to please review the Q&A Usage Guidelines before posting in this forum. Specifically, please quote the rule or definition that your question is referring to.

Let’s take a look at the definition of Preload, which actually addresses your specific question.

Preload – The one (1) Cube each team must place on the field such that it is touching its Robot, not touching any grey foam tiles or the Skyrise Base, and fully within the field perimeter prior to each Match.

Thus, at the start of the match all of the following criteria must be met:

• The Preload Cube must be touching the Robot
• The Preload Cube must not be touching any grey tiles or the Skyrise Base
• The Preload Cube must be fully within the field perimeter
