What are the starting location requirements for passive, secondary hardware?

If all of the requirements, such as a random starting location and orientation, are met by the autonomous and mobile excavation hardware, secondary hardware is not required to be placed in a randomized starting location, provided that all rules are followed and all requirements are met. For instance, a stationary and passive (not powered) item that is separate from the primary hardware could be placed on the ramp or near the collector during the 5 minute set up period to simplify access or dumping.
