Quote:
1. On the pictures in rules, the coins around totems are rotated by their little cubes further from the totems. Is the rotation of coins (position of a cube attached to a coin) at the beginning of match always the same, or the rotation is set randomly?
Yes
Which one? is the rotation the same or random?
The rotation is always the same

Is this an official change to the rules then? The rules say you can only steal elements from the hold if the cover has been raised up.
Yes: you do not have to open the cover to steal elements.

Two further questions of my own:
1: Is it allowed to deposit the black dummy coins in the opponent's ship?
Yes, it is not forbidden.

2: Does this mean that a secondary robot could be made that is simply there to 'guard' the ship and perform no other action?
No, this is unsporting (unfair) behavior. The secondary robot is not meant to be fully stationnary, it's meant to be a robot, so it has to perform at least some actions.
