I can't emphasis enough how important it is to read the rules. Scott has done an amazing job of describing what can and cannot be done, and if you don't see a rule that addresses a particular issue, then its allowed (what genius!)
The only rule that applies to this issue is that the entire robot must file in base along with anything the robot is about to act on (rule 29, Start/restart position, bullet one). You're allowed to place items that are "in base" outside of base to get them out of the way, but if the robot is going to act on them, they must be in base(rule 21, Stored objects), although you can place them there are any time (rule 24, Staging).
