Also, I don't think anyone really designed a unique handler for empty cells, so looks like most teams are not concerned with it.
It's all about how you play the match. We've been averaging 1-2 Empty Cells Delivered to our HP's. The Issue is that we never had a good enough HP to make the shot because we were playing ours at the outpost. Once we put him down in the end he sank 12 moon rocks and 2 Super Cells.

As for Us we've practiced handling Empty Cells as much as we've practiced Dumping. You don't need a separate mechanism you just need to be able to stop and reverse your intake system to deliver the Empty Cell.
