Quick question on the Neutral Zone

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion

I have an autonomous that scores two triballs in the Blue goal, as a Blue robot. The game manual shows this diagram in SG10 as an example of robots legally interacting in the Neutral Zone:
SG10

Based on this diagram, it seems legal to grab the triballs on the double white line, since when you have posession of a triball, it is technically an extension of your robot and contacts the other side of the Autonomous Line. So TL;DR: Can a robot grab a triball on the Autonomous Line if the robot itself, not the triball it grabs, avoids contacting the field on the other side of the line?

Yes, it definitely can. This was ambiguous for a while but the update in game manual version 3 to SG9 makes it clear that it’s allowed to grab that triball.
