Hello, I am Meric Song, the leader of team 6724C, CRX Robotics, South Korea.

I have a question regarding the rule SG9, which says that robots are not allowed to possess more than 1 cone simultaneously. Does this include loading stacks of cones inside the robot like a magazine in guns?

To answer your question, take a look at the definition of Stacked

Stacked – A Cone is Stacked on a Goal if it is not touching a Robot of the same color Aliiance as the
Goal and either:
a) Fully nested on a Goal (see Figures 5 & 6).
b) Fully nested on a Stacked Cone (see Figures 7 & 8).
Note 1: Cones still count as being Stacked even if the Mobile Goal that they are Stacked on is
not Scored.
Note 2: By these definitions, if a Robot is touching a Cone on a Mobile Goal, that Cone and
any above it will not count as being Stacked.

By this definition, for a cone to be Stacked, and therefore exempt from <SG9>, you must stack on a mobile base
