<G21> says, "Introducing EMPTY CELLS - Empty Cells enter the Crater when the Payload Specialist passes the Empty Cell through the payload port in the Outpost Shield, or over the Alliance Station Wall from the Fueling Station. Empty Cells shall not enter the Crater through any other means (e.g. an Empty Cell can not be thrown over the Outpost shield and into the Crater)..."

So we've established that the PS in the Outpost can only introduce Empty Cells through the port, but nowhere does it say that the robot has to be on the other side of the port receiving the Empty Cell. I'm assuming this is allowed, then, unless anyone can find a restriction somewhere else in the game rules...
