2203: Balls failed to score and not left the field
If a failed scoring attempt puts ball back inside the field, can it be retrieved by loader off the field, or does it have to be picked up by robot?
In this scenario, Loaders are not allowed to reach into the Field to remove the Ball. The Ball must be picked up by the Robot.
Can such a ball be removed from the field by a loader if the robot is reset to starting position mid-match?
In Autonomous Coding Skills Matches, a Loader is only allowed to remove a Ball from inside the Field during <RSC8> interactions, when Balls must be removed from both the Field and from the Robot. In Teamwork or Driving Skills Matches, a Loader is only allowed to remove a Ball from inside the Field during rare <G10> interactions when a Ball is preventing the Robot from being legally placed. (Most <G10> interactions usually result in Balls being removed only from the Robot, not from the Field.)
