empty cell question
 

How much are we allowed to interact with the robot at the outpost when loading an empty cell or moon rock? Are we allowed to touch the empty cell at the same time that the robot is?

if you go to the portal page and scroll down to the Blue Alliance box, there is a link to a video, Hands on with the 2009 game or something to that effect. about halfway through, they demonstrate how the human players handle the orbit balls to avoid injury.

Its one of those grabber handle things with the squeeze trigger to grasp stuff.

Also, remember that you will be sitting and strapped into a chair when you hand the empty cells off, and I don't think the robots are allowed to extend through the Outpost wall, so it would be pretty hard to have any helpful interaction with the robot at this point.
