Answered: Standing behind the line?

[John_Washburne]

Is there any rule that requires the loader to stand behind a line in the alliance area?
If so, in a raised field situation, what is your reasonable accommodation for competitors that are not physically able to safely reach into the field to load a robot?

Yes.

<G5> During a Match, the Drive Team Members must remain in their Alliance Station.

If so, in a raised field situation, what is your reasonable accommodation for competitors that are not physically able to safely reach into the field to load a robot?

All teams will have to adjust to the usage of raised fields. This includes getting adjusted to differences in visibility and the methods they use to introduce Match Loads. However, referees will be instructed to be very lenient in enforcing <R5>, especially in light of how Robots are being loaded this year.
