Personally, I can throw tubes to the middle of the field within a five foot radius with about 8/9 consistency, but I'm also 6'5" so it's really easy for me to get them over the wall - sadly I can't be a human player. Haha.

Our prospective human player isn't too far off with his consistency, I think he's about 6/9 or 7/9 with minimal practice, though he's a lot shorter than I am so teaching him to throw is a bit of a challenge.

When you see a full sized field, you'll realize how difficult it'll be to throw tubes reliably with 6 robots out there.
