Re: Removing game pieces from Trailers

So "ROBOT to ROBOT" Interaction does not automatically include the Trailer. Just because the ROBOTS cannot touch outside the bumper zone does not automatically prohibit one ROBOT touching another Trailer.

Another example of this...All "Posession" rules apply to the ROBOT, but do not include the Trailer. eg: Your ROBOT cannot Possess two Empty Cells, but you could have 4 in your Trailer.
Yeah, and the BUMPER ZONE is as follows:

Quote:
BUMPER ZONE – the volume contained between two virtual horizontal planes, one inch above the
floor and seven inches above the floor.
Two virtual horizontal planes, that are contained, which implies your trailer is part of the BUMPER ZONE, so you could potentially look at this as an opportunity to see this as you being able only to remove balls from your own trailer and no one else's, but whether it removes the points or not is still very confusing to me, anyone know?
