So question about the Grappling Struts being open in an Asteroid. It references if you perform a left or right maneuver rotate the droid 90 degrees. Would I be correct in forcing an opponent to rotate his droid if he uses a left/right Bank?
Grappling Struts and Rotation
If they had just landed on the asteroid the turn no. If they had started the turn on it with their struts open and had a bank or a turn revealed on their dial yes.
Just a note, the only maneuver that can be "performed" by a droid starting its activation with struts open and being on an asteroid or debris field is the 2 straight.
The wording on the card is pretty clear in this regard, I believe only a straight or K-turn will not result in rotation.
Maneuvers that have a left/right component include Banks, Turns, Segnors loops, Tallon rolls, and reverse Banks.
Edit: @Hiemfire very astutely observed that the original question could be interpreted as asking if a Droid must rotate as it lands, which is a no. The rotating is what the Droid does instead of its chosen maneuver when it reveals a maneuver at r0 of an asteroid.

And the Ion Maneuver when ionized.
