I have a question that’s been bugging me.
this year there are 2 bucky balls on the starting tile. are we not allowed to touch those when we position? what are the rules on that? I cant find them any where in the rulebook. 
There are two buckyballs per alliance that are PRELOADS. These are available to your alliance (one PER ROBOT) to be placed either in the robot, on the robot, or on the starting tiles. They MUST start the match in one of these positions. However, they can’t be touching the Bump or any of the field walls. There are no buckyballs that start touching the starting tiles other than these.
For more information, read the section in manual on preloads.
