The seated players are surrounded by the moon rocks on the floor, but the empty cells are neatly hung up to help avoid confusion. I don't think there will be a large percentage of Blue/Purple being mixed a whole lot on the floor. And... as for the Super cells (green) they are tightly controlled by the staff, and therefore won't be very many until the last 20 seconds.
You think every Empty Cell will be loaded directly from the Outpost to a robot, delivered to the Airlock, and never hit the floor? I don't. There will be loose Empty Cells rolling around on the Crater. The Pilots and the referees will have to keep track of their use.

I'm also not sure about your comment about Super Cells being controlled by the staff. I didn't see anything about this in the rules; they are hung in the Fueling Port and can be exchanged for an Empty Cell by the Payload Specialist. Although the video showed a referee handing a Super Cell to a player, I don't think this is going to happen in the game.
