G18 does NOT say that the actions of a PAYLOAD SPECIALIST shall not cause an opposing robot to incur penalties. As it reads, you can toss the empty cells onto your opponent's robot instead of into the trailer and cause a ten point penalty.

Is there another rule covering this somewhere that I missed? If not, I hope they fix it.

They need to fix it. <G21> gives an action that <G22> prohibits--or does it?

<G22> Exchanging EMPTY CELLS - When an EMTPY CELL exits the CRATER via a FUELING PORT, it is retrieved by the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST and stored on the CELL RACK. During the last 20 seconds of the MATCH, each EMPTY CELL in the FUELING STATION may be exchanged for a SUPER CELL. Once an EMPTY CELL has been exchanged for a SUPER CELL, it can not re-enter play. Violations will result in a PENALTY.

The bolded sections are the contradiction.

However, from the OUTPOST, no worries due to <G21> prohibiting EMPTY CELLs from going over the OUTPOST wall.
