No, the randomness does refer to the six sides. They will either place it with a point or flat side against the platform. Some matches one would be flat and the other would be point.

I don't like this update at all. I'd prefer they just stick to placing a point against the platform. It is easy and super accurate. That is why I thought they have the tape line there. At St. Louis there was at least one team that had cool autonomous modes that grabbed the mobile goal and such before they started using this update. With difference orientation I didn't see anyone attempt this. I think they should stick with the orientation that was printed into all the regional booklets.
