Re: how to throw tubes

We definitely weren't planning on throwing tubes at all, but if its a strategy we see working, definitely will convert our HP to a tube-throwing machine lol. I'll be interested to see what penalties/limitations FIRST will place on tube throwing that the rules arent completely clear about at this point. (Especially since if a HP player touches/crosses into driver station, he'll face penalties)

Possible cons:
Tube stealing - if the other alliance hoardes even all of one shape, you're over.
Repeatedly throwing a tube out of bounds (regardless of intention) will most likely result in penalties after the first time

But of course, any tube that is on your alliance's side of the field is quicker points so we'll see what happens! I'm excited to watch week 1 =D
