{{Function
|name=turtle.dropDown
|args=[<nowiki></nowiki>{{type|number}} count]
|returns={{type|boolean}} true if an item was dropped; false otherwise.
|api=turtle
|addon=ComputerCraft
|desc=Drops all items in the selected slot, or if ''count'' is specified, drops that many items.
If the space below the turtle does not contain an inventory, the items are dropped into that space.
If the space below the turtle contains an inventory, the items are dropped into that inventory.
The items will be placed in the first available slot, starting at the top left, moving right and then down.

[[turtle.drop]] and [[turtle.dropUp]] are also available, and useful for loading furnaces; dropDown when above the furnace will load the top slot for smelting.

Before Minecraft 1.5/ComputerCraft 1.51, dropUp would load the bottom (fuel) slot for furnaces, since the hopper-related changes, fuel is loaded into the sides, and the output slot is available on the bottom (using [[Turtle.suck|turtle.suckUp]])
