Dedicated Empty Cell Handler?

[Travis Hoffman]

We've got a dedicated empty cell handler. We drive up to the outpost, the PS drops it on the floor, and the roller at the bottom sucks it up. We have to tweak the area behind the roller with a bit o' inclined polycarb to help keep the cell up off the ground a bit and keep it snug against the roller during transport. Once we add that in Cleveland, we expect to be able to do this, but even better.

We also expect to spin that roller at full speed in eject mode (RS-545 with a 16:1 Banebots P60 = purty fast) a great deal of the match as we're driving around, especially when we're pointed toward our corner PS stations. Since we can't pick up off the ground, we figured we might as well make it a headache for those who can by scattering the orbit balls to the winds. Fun times.

Conversely, the same mechanism could also theoretically be used to pass the balls to floor collecting partners. It'll be fun exploring our capabilities next week. :-)
