<T22> prohibits items other than the Operator Console, reasonable decorations, and anything for a disability. It ESPECIALLY prohibits items that would give the team a competitive advantage, which would include a device to store the balls for easier access.

Each fueling station will have a container for the purpose anyway, according to Section 6. I would be surprised if there wasn't another at the Outposts, though it isn't mentioned.

i know people who go to local schools who do special Olympics basketbal

FIRST Q&A would be the appropriate place to ask this question.

From what i've read, and heard from my team mates reading the manual allowed, I haven't seen or heard anything that stops you from doing that.

I agree with the person who said they have two hands right?

I don't see anything stopping them

Danny, btw...you'd be a horrible PS...I hope you're not it lol.

Stogi, for that comment right there you will pay. I am going to train everyday and make a montage and send it to you before the competitions. And you will tremble in fear at the awesomness of Danny. And at the competitions I am only gonna aim for your trailer.

Question:

Can the Payload Specialist in the Fueling Station with the grabber-thingy(excellent definition in my opinion ) extract several cells/rocks from the airlock and place them in a nearby location/inside the fueling station zone in a pile so he could just throw a few balls at a time instead of: take thingy, extract ball, put thingy down, throw cell/rock accuratley, repeat.

Of course, he could hold the thingy in one hand and throw the ball with the other, but it's more accurate to throw with two hands for further distances too.

There's nothing in the rules to prohibit the PS from putting the tongs down. There will be a container provided for the balls, so you don't have to worry about building a pile of rolly objects.
