Re: Open top recyling container?

Removal of the litter bin from the original set position? I have known it to have been moved to both HP Stations so far many times (That also would be a violation of G16 it appears, as they have to A. Grab or B. Grasp the Litter Container and drag or carry it over there (unless they actually levitated it numerous times by mind control)....Working reset I replaced that Bin many times to the original required location, though I never once saw it actually moved originally as I was busy watching the matches. (It should have been originally attached to the carpet w/ some type of hook/loop tape originally, but was never called out to be in the arena setup).

148 as an example has a forklift on Batman that could easily and gently lower it right onto a built stack from an inch below the top of the wall, there would be no damage incurred, and no HP would need to reach over the wall. (I was just thinking a bit outside the bin). LOL. (As there is the exception to G16 of (items A-D exclude TOTES, RECYCLING
CONTAINERS, and LITTER): And...That green thing the litter was in, is the right size, right color, right labelling, just missing a Lid. And was completely empty at the time, so no longer a litter bin. (Quite a rules discussion could have ensued).

I do agree it is a field element and not a Recycle Bin when used as a Litter Bin. But, that is not what is described as a Litter Bin in the actual Ruleset. It is supposed to be white...But those used in Las Vegas were actually Green Recycling Bins w/ out lids. And therefore, just like the Yellow totes pushed out (off the carpet onto the concrete, and completely out of the carpeted arena area, just to get them out of their way), by a human player, was ruled legal, because there was no actual rule against doing so, I was just wondering if anyone even thought about doing it. (The rule on an RC without a lid on a stack is left up to the Head Ref, on whether it scores or not).

It is very important to use the proper field elements also.

I'm just glad it never became an issue.
