Re: A few Questions about Lunacy

1. Section 7.2 DEFINITIONS states that a Payload specialists must be a pre-college student team member

2. There has never been an age limit, although it is a high school robotics program.

3. G20 states: MOON ROCKS can be recycled to the PAYLOAD SPECIALISTS by passing them over/through the AIRLOCK and through the FUELING PORT in the Alliance Station Wall, or by passing them through the port in the OUTPOST shield. MOON ROCKS can not be recycled to the PAYLOAD SPECIALISTS via any other paths (e.g. over the OUTPOST shield or Alliance Station Wall). A violation will cause a PENALTY to be assigned.

The payload specialist located at the Outpost does not have a grabber and as far as I know cannot be refueled.

Sorry, Vikesrock. The Manual wins.

Though the PS at the outpost doesn't have a grabber.

Re: A few Questions about Lunacy

"Recycling" apparently refers to robot-PS interaction. It seems to me that the rules do not prohibit the Fueling Station PS from throwing game objects over the wall to the Outpost PS. It's a long shot, but could happen.

Sorry, Rick. http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=11436

Extra long shot, but could still happen.

Oh darn, foiled again. I submit that such a shot is absolutely impossible (unless you allow ricochets off robots).
