[RR] Last Question

From the RoboRally FAQ...

Q: What happens if an express conveyor belt moves your robot onto a
normal conveyor belt?  What happens if a normal conveyor belt moves you
onto an express conveyor belt?

A: Check the Timing Summary on the Factory Floor Guide under "Board
Elements Move." Express conveyor belts move robots one square first. After
that, all normal conveyor belts AND express conveyor belts move one square
simultaneously. This means an express conveyor belt moves a robot onto a
normal conveyor, and the normal conveyor will also move the robot. If a
normal conveyor moves a robot onto an express conveyor belt, the express
conveyor belt has already gone through both its moves and will not move
the robot further.

Fine, but...

If I'm moving from an express conveyor to a rotating normal conveyor
on the 1st conveyor phase (express powered... normal not yet) does
the robot rotate?

During the 2nd conveyor phase... yep.. it definitely rotates... but the
1st phase.

The same question applies to the super conveyors, of course... if they
are present, I beleive the timing is...

phase 1   super
phase 2   super + express
phase 3   super + express + normal

Answers?  with a reference would be nice...

Richard
