Both, by the looks. Gesturing to the drivers or spotter, but it's obvious he's nowhere near the tote when the chute door goes up.


I had a similar sort of chat with Code Orange's HP at Inland Empire--he was so fast, I almost called multiple G6s on him during practice, so I suggested he make it a little more obvious. The next day, I saw: If one hand was up, the chute door was open. If the other hand was up, he had a tote ready to go. Didn't slow him down much...and I didn't have to worry about calling him for fouls unless I couldn't see one hand or the other.
