Rule G33 :

Quote:

LITTER may be introduced onto the FIELD only during TELEOP and only in the following ways:
A. through the LITTER CHUTE, or
B. over the ALLIANCE WALL prior to the last twenty (20) seconds of the MATCH.
VIOLATION: FOUL per LITTER.

Oops, guess cgmv123 beat me to it!

Don't build a robot, just throw noodles.

It is called an atlatl. It is an ancient hunting weapon used for throwing spears. LINK I checked the rules and could not see anything against as of second day of build season. I have not tested it on a noodle but seems like it could work just probably not as accurate as the historic equivalent.

The rules may say that you can't use the atlatl, but it may be possible to match the atlatl's shape with your hand.

Re: Noodle Throwing Strategy

We just got in some more noodles that we ordered from andymark(i think) and they are a much stiffer and easier to throw noodle. We were able to throw them 30-35 feet no problem. It amazed me how direrent they are from the one that came in the kit of parts.

Noodles this year are going to be that thing that your alliance partner's human player is going to want to try and you're going to have to try to convince them that they're taking too large of a risk without coming off as being controlling.

Now take those noodles and run over then with your robot to test how it will handle all that litter you are going to create. Then try throwing them because that is the condition of the noodle after the first few matches. :(

In the manual it says that the noodles vary in thickness and hardness.

Re: Noodle Throwing Strategy

I've found that practice really matters. I was throwing around a pretty beat up one for fun for about an hour. It took me about half that time to actually throw one to the other side, but now I get about every other one over. I've been throwing it javelin style, but I can't wait to try these new techniques!

Re: Noodle Throwing Strategy

I found that if you just leave it non streightened and put the curve facing up then it will be straight. then throw it but don't use full force:D

Actually, we didn't run over the original one, we just beat it up till it was barely legal :p

the result was the same however....

I was able to throw the beat up one 20-30+ feet pretty consistantly.

and the beat up ones actually straighten out petty well for pool noodles.
