In the heat of battle the empty cell can fall into the bin and be picked up and thrown in. This happened to our human player. It was his only penalty and it didn't cost us a match.

He said as the ball was leaving his hand he saw what color it was and tried to stop but it was too late.

He never threw another ball without looking at the color first. All outpost specialist should do the same.
