<G23> question

[darkChozo]

To quickly readdress the original question, at about 2:38 in the game animation, it is specifically mentioned that "humans or robots can score bonus points by getting super cells into opposing trailers." While I realize that the animation isn't the manual, it seems more likely that the statement in the manual is an oversight.

Still, something that should be addressed once the Q&A goes live.

I bet this issue will be fixed in a revision of the game manual to allow robots to score them as well.

If a SUPER CELL is launched into the CRATER before the last 20 seconds of the MATCH, then two (2) PENALTIES will be assigned.

I interpret this as meaning that the Payload Specialist can throw the Super Cell into the Crater after the 20-second mark. After it's in the Crater it will be fair game for all robots to pick up and score. The Payload Specialist can also throw the Super Cell into a robot trailer. The only thing excluded by this rule would be handing the Super Cell to your robot to score with.

<G07> says that "Scores are determined by the state of the GAME PIECES at the end of the MATCH." I interpret that to mean that it doesn't matter how they get there, as long as it's legal, and nothing says it's illegal for a robot to manipulate a super cell. This will probably be clarified, though, so I wouldn't worry.
