Handling Empty Cells

[FRC1529]

What happens if a Payload Spe______t throws an Empty Cell into an opponent's robot so that the robot now possesses more than one at a time? I realize a robot or team cannot be forced into a penalty, but would the robot be obliged to attempt to release at least one of the Empty Cells immediately? Is there some sort of grace period the robot has to expel an Empty Cell?

7.3.4.2 G18 states that the action of a robot shall not cause an opposing robot to break a rule.

Can a payload spe______t from one team case a robot to break a rule?

For example, a robot is controlling an empty cell, a payload spe______t from the opposing teams lands another empty cell on the robot. The robot now controls 2 empty cells. Would this cause a penalty?

If, while herding or carrying an Empty Cell, another Empty Cell launched by the opposing alliance lands on your robot and remains, will you be penalized?

[GDC]

No. Please refer to Rule <G18>, as amended in Team Update #3. The actions of a ROBOT or ALLIANCE can not cause the opposing ALLIANCE to receive a PENALTY. A ROBOT that receives an EMPTY CELL under these conditions will not be PENALIZED, and may use the EMTPY CELL as desired.
