A. We cannot guarantee a TOTE will exit the TOTE CHUTE in any particular pattern, nor is the construction of the TOTE CHUTE intended to guarantee a particular "landing style". The orientation of the TOTES upon exiting the TOTE CHUTE is dependent on factors such as flatness of the venue floor, assembly tolerances, and manner in which the DRIVER or HUMAN PLAYER feed the TOTE.
