Re: <G24> Empty Cell Ruling from DC
I see other possible rules violations here:
<G12> Prior to the start of the match, EMPTY CELLS are on the cell racks in the outpost. After the start of the match, they are available to the payload specialist. Whether this is a 10 point or 40 point penalty is ambiguous.
<G21> only allows EMPTY CELLS to be introduced into the crater via the porthole in the outpost when loading the robot. No other means are allowed. Did the payload specialist pass each ball through the porthole? If not, there are up to 40 points of penalties incurred.
Compounded with the 10 to 40 penalty points from <G24>, this "clever move" could have occurred between 60 to 120 points in penalties. A team could score 60 points if they make good on all four SUPER CELLS, but the odds are most definitely against this. I just don't see this as a viable strategy if the rules are correctly applied...
