There will definitely be a difference between our little 1/4 field and extra carpet and a field at regionals. We've done some testing in the school gym and our human player seemed to be ok at Frisbeeing the tubes to the middle but not reliably enough to use in competition. When we tried to tomahawk them the tubes slipped on the slick floor as opposed to bouncing and rolling.
Our goal as far as human player is concerned is to get him to the point where he can gently hit our robot (or something else) with a tube, that tube will drop, and we can then pick it up. We figure that if we can do this from 1/2 way across the field or more we can save enough traveling time to lower our sec/tube. Which means more tubes/game. Do you think that's possible or a good idea?
