[RR] Antwort: Last Question

[Freimut_Hennies@IDG.DE]

Hi Richard,

the problem is no problem. I have no reference but a belt is to treat as an
empty space if it is not active. Therefore a bot is never rotated if the belt is
inactive in that phase.

The same is if your bot moves on a rotating conveyor belt by using a movement
card or if pushed by another bot or a pusher. It is _never_ rotated  in these
cases.
