1. For both driver skills and programming skills, are we allowed to matchload in the isolation zone tiles?

2. Are we allowed to start in the isolation colored tiles, or are we only allowed to start in the interaction zone colored tiles?

Thanks

Robot Skills Match Loads may only be introduced in the Interaction Zone Alliance Starting Tile

@Appendix C - The Programming Skills Challenge

Programming Skills Match Loads may only be introduced in the Interaction Zone Alliance Starting Tile
