Hoarding Power Cubes in Alliance Station

[J35690]

Are teams allowed to collect power cubes through the exchange station without placing them or returning them to the field? First thought is that G22 would answer this, but it only applies to robots.

Yes. Remember, people are not robots, so G22 does not apply.

@FIRST POWER UP Manual Section 4.2 page 37-38 as of Kickoff

ROBOTS deliver POWER CUBES to HUMAN PLAYERS through the EXCHANGE. Once a POWER CUBE is delivered through the EXCHANGE, HUMAN PLAYERS may:

1. place the POWER CUBE into the VAULT for points and application toward a POWER UP, or
2. return the POWER CUBE to the FIELD using the RETURN in the EXCHANGE wall, or
3. keep the POWER CUBE inside the ALLIANCE STATION (effectively delaying the selection until a later time or not using it all.)
