Does the cargo bay shake after the sandstorm? At the end of the match? Does the cargo area stay slanted after the shake so it will roll out without a panel?

At the end of the sandstorm, the ramps in the cargo ship will slant and remain slanted for the remainder of the match (AFAIK).

Reminder that true rule clarifications should come from the official FIRST Q&A system that opens on Wednesday. Chief responses are unofficial (but often great for conversation or idea generation).

Got it! Thanks!
From section 4.4 of the manual:
BAY floors are initially sloped to retain CARGO. At the end of the SANDSTORM PERIOD, T-minus135s, they tilt (magnets holding the back of the floor down disengage) causing CARGO to roll out of the CARGO SHIP if no HATCH PANEL has been attached to the corresponding HATCH.
I found nothing about them moving back to the sandstorm position, nor about them remaining in place. As the release is stated as “magnets…disengage”, nothing being said implies to me that they remain disengaged.
The deeper space video also confirmed that it stays slanted.
