Getting the balls in the Fueling Port

I've been looking around and I thought I saw that you can drop the balls over the Air Lock wall, instead of having to roll them through. Of course a couple of people disagree. Does anyone know what the ruling on this is?

Thanks

From the pictures on TBA, it looks like if you can do it, go ahead and dump them.

Re: Getting the balls in the Fueling Port

From what Im aware of you can certainly dump from above, there isnt any kind of surface blocking you from doing so. The angle is only there to avoid robots getting pinned in the corner I think, dump from above
