He never threw another ball without looking at the color first. All outpost specialist should do the same.
I was going to post the same exact thing -- in auton our robot smashed into our outpost station and knocked empty cells into the bins. Our HP picked up one and put it back onto the rack, but didn't realize a 2nd had fallen. As he threw it in, he had a darth vader moment ("NOOOOOOOOOO!").
