What do you think the perfect empty cell runner looks like? It could have bin that is exactly at the outpost height but probably better to have a efficient ball harvester that will always get the dropped cell. It should shoot or dump into the airlock. Pushing the balls through the airlock is not efficient and prone to having the empty cell stolen by the opposing alliance.

Blocking the outpost will also be a strategy, preventing access to the empty cells. The best defense against this is to have the outpost retain as many moon rocks as possible. In fact, the outpost should only take shots that are easy shots at the beginning. At the end game, most robots will try to be mid-field to avoid the super cells and should be easy targets.
