I say 8 so it would start the turn closer to the center of the robot

Well, I'm more inclined to try the Hammer. I just feel like it's got the best mix of a vertical release and how it "floats" near the end.

The only reason I could see someone hitting the target with a backhand or forehand(lol) is:
a. They don't know how to throw other ways.
b. The sheer amount of people who will try.
I think the people who know how to throw an effective hammer is much less than those who can throw an effective backhand. The one thing the backhand has going for it, though, is the (if you're right handed) left to right curve (I'm assuming it wo't S-curve over 54 feet) that gives it an excellent shot at hitting any of the three targets. And I, also am very intrigued by throwing around the barrier. It was one of the first things I looked for in the rules. There's nothing, though...but if the venue has room for the 3 foot seperation, it should be possible to fit the frisbee in there so that it curves around the pyramids.

With regards to throwing around, see this post.

The only situation where I see a backhand working is if someone slices an IO from the feeder station on the low goal side of the field.

I think a lot of the future human players in this thread are underestimating the height of that feeder wall. I'm quite adamant in the fact that hammers are your only accurate option, and even then you won't see those go in too often.

I remember reading about the technical foul given to those that hit a robot with a frisbee while that robot is climbing, however, I can't seem to find that exact rule in the rulebook. (Even though I remember seeing it XD):ahh:

Anyone know the exact rule?

The Rule is G16. In fact, if hitting the robot while climbing messes up the robot's attampt to climb, it gets the points for having climbed all the way to level 3.

So if a robot is hit by a frisbee, no technical foul unless the team is using a strategy specifically using frisbees to inhibit its climb?
