Per <RSC3> Parts (a) and (b) seem to conflict with each other in wording.
Can you please clarify which zone is the "Pickup Zone" and which area is the "Loading Station"? (a) states " ... anywhere in Starting Zone 1 (ie., the one closest to the Pickup Zone)" (b) states " ... Robots must begin in the Starting Zone 1 (ie., the one closest to the Loading Station)"
In this case, is the "Pickup Zone" referring to behind the Goal Wall where the Loaders would "pickup the ball for reloading?" Or does it refer to the zone where robots can pick up the balls from the field?
Apologies if the wording is clear but my brain is conflating the two zones inaccurately.
