Answered: What defines a robot being "in the interaction zone"?

I have question regarding the statement made in the following post:https://vexforum.com/showpost.php?p=217030&postcount=2

specifically:

If the following are true:

  1. The gate is up
  2. The robot is touching the foam field tiles in the interaction zone
  3. The robot is touching the colored starting tile in the isolation zone
  4. The intake is in the interaction zone

Would the robot be able to receive regular (as in not the doubler or negation barrel) match loads per SG7?
Would the robot be able to receive a negation barrel in this situation (given that some portion of the negation barrel breaks the plane of the foam tiles representing the isolation zone)?
Would the robot be able to receive a doubler barrel in this situation?

No, the Robot must be touching the Alliance Starting Tile in the Interaction Zone.

Yes, since the Robot is touching the Alliance Starting Tile in the Isolation Zone and provided that the Negation Barrel is being placed in the Isolation Zone.

No, please see the response to the first part of your question for the rationale.

An amendment to the previous answer you quoted will be made to make this situation much clearer.
