The robot can end in the patient area with the people and white blood cells
in some sort of attachment.  However the people and white cells must be in
the vertical space about the patient area. So if a corner of the robot is in
that space and the attachment is not then they don't score. This is
addressed in the rules.

*25 - IN - A is “in,” “into,” or has “reached” area B if ANY BIT of A is
OVER area B.
To be “in” an area is to penetrate the volume over that area. Base is a
special case; see Rule 11.

Barely “in” is considered “in” unless the phrase “completely in” is used.

Touching (direct contact) isn’t needed/doesn’t matter when assessing if
something is “in.”

Objects are ruled on independent of each other, and independent of their
transports/containers.*

But, the people and white cells must not be attached to anything (including
themselves) in a way that violates the rule in 13 bullet 3

*13 - MISSION MODELS - Mission models are the objects that are already on
the field when you walk up to it.

You may not bring duplicate mission models to the table if they could
confuse scoring.

You may not take mission models apart, even temporarily.

**You are limited as to how you may connect anything to a mission model.
Gently flipping and/or shaking
one (the heavier if the two are different) must allow gravity to completely
separate them. The ref does not
allow a start with an illegal connection. See Rule 20.

Don’t walk away with mission models from the competition area. Bring them
back if you do. Thanks.*
