Payload Specialist

[shannieliz]

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

<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.

From what I've read in the manual, it should be legal, but it's highly doubtful that you would be able to throw 2 at once, and have both of them make it in. The gap between the posts and center poles on the trailers is 10.4", and the ball diameter is 9", I believe, not to mention the fact that they'll be on moving robots, and the human has a wall to throw it over.

don't the Human Players (excuse my veteren lingo), Have to use that pole thing to pick up the balls? That might hinder the throwing capeabilities.

Only to extract the balls safely from the field (airlock) not to throw them.

I can see this being done by shooting simultaneously at two different trailers, one with the left arm and one with the right. But, anyone who can actually pull this out should be trying out for the NBA instead.
