per q&a

Answer to question 127:
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.

Answer to question 454:
A.The game sounds are not an official indicator of match time- the official timer for the match is
displayed in the middle PLAYER STATION and has a white strip of tape on it. As such, a HUMAN
PLAYER (or DRIVER) putting LITTER over the ALLIANCE WALL when the timer reads 20 seconds or
fewer would be a violation of G33-B.
