Re: Feeding VS. Throwing tubes into Play?
If your actually thowing it would mean that you would need to refocus the design of a fetcher. Since their total travel would be in the environs of 20ft rather than 50ft the focus would have to shift a lot towards picking up the game peice and on turning around.

IMO if they have no defensive player a fetcher becomes useless in such a scenario since 20 ft is such a short distance the "scorer" robots would come out and pick up the game peices themselves.

just my rookie opinion...
