Answered: Programming Skills - Loads

[Pete]

In the Robot Skills challenge the robot must be at the adjacent zone to use the Robot Skills Loads.

In a Robot Skills Match, Robot Skills Loads can only be loaded in the Loading Zone adjacent to where they started the Robot Skills Match.

Do the same rules apply in the Programming Skills or could 64 Programming Skills Loads be used from one Alliance tile?

At the beginning of each Programming Skills Match, the Robot must be placed such that it is touching any single Alliance Starting Tile, not touching any Scoring Objects other than those permitted by , and not touching any other foam field tiles.
Prior to the start of each Programming Skills Match, each Robot may use their four (4) Balls available as Programming Skills Preloads. A Ball is considered to be legally preloaded if it is touching the Robot, not touching any other grey foam tiles, and is fully within the field perimeter. Any unused Programming Skills Preloads become Programming Skills Control Loads. Please note, the twelve (12) other Preloads that would be used by other Robots in a normal Match are available as Programming Skills Loads

My apologies. I did review the document but I must have overlooked the rule.
