It's really important to state that the pets and other mission models are
NEVER "part of the robot"  (Rule 14, bullet 4, Rule 15, etc.) and may not
be attached, connected, or constrained to be joined with the robot.

However, the pets and mission models are allowed to be loaded onto the
robot or into a container, as long as there's some way for them for fall
off (say by turning the robot upside down).

The scoring conditions for the missions that involve delivering objects to
the Red zone only require that the objects be "in" the Red zone, so it's
okay if they are in a container or on the robot too.

There aren't any big issues, other than
  -- the robot has to collect the objects
  -- the objects have to be loaded in the basket
  -- the robot has to be able to navigate to the Red zone
  -- each object has to be individually "in" the zone to count
  -- your basket may possibly be subject to a "Junk Penalty" (Rule 12,
bullet 4), depending on whether it is part of the robot or not.
