Re: Super Cell Scoring Question posted 2X by me on Q&A but no reply??

I don't have the rules in front of me, but what I remember is this.

The payload player is given a super cell in exchange for an empty cell.

The empty cells start with the outpost player.

SO, sometime during the match, the outpost player gives an empty cell to a robot, (hence the little opening in the outpost wall) the robot takes it to the payload specialist, and once there, a (judge, ref, etc) takes it and replaces it with a supercell.

Now, since supercells can only be thrown in the last 20 seconds of a match, the chances of a robot collecting a missed supercell AND making it into a trailer is highly unlikely.

So i guess there doesn't need to be a rule against a robot scoring a supercell, cause there is practically no way it will happen.
