Answered: Skills challenge ball location

[iceskier]

I’m sorry for such a late question but I am really doing this just for clarification.
In skills challenges, both robot and programming, do teams get 40 balls for match loads? The way the rules are written is a little confusing. I am not sure if the preloads that are given to the other alliance starting tiles are tied to the tiles and must be placed on those tiles at the start of the match or if they are put off the field where drivers are located so they can be introduced during the allotted time.

Thank you
