The airlock area

[ATannahill]

What I am wondering and couldn't find in the manual is can the HP use the claw to reach through the hole and get any game pieces that didn't get all the way to them.

I believe that after the game pieces pass through the airlock, the payload specialist can pick them up with the tongs.

I believe that the tongs will be used to reach thru the diamond-plate opening. As long as their hands don't break the plane of the diamond-plate opening, they can reach the tongs thru the opening to grab the balls within the triangle.


Question now is, how long are the tongs ...

Heck, we have a camera, can't the camera target the person standing behind the plexiglass? Where a shirt with a big red X then target the X.

I don't remember seeing that excluded in the rules.

The ones at the Kickoff event in Manchester, NH were the 36" variety shown here, with that EXACT manufacturer & EXACT colors (blue, green & silver) shown on this following page:

They look to be about $20-$30 online if you want to buy one to practice with.
