Re: Feeder Robots: Do They Exist?
In elims at Traverse City, we had 141 move thrown tubes into the end zone and run interference while we and 201 hung them. It worked quite well. I'm pretty sure that nobody ever went back to the slot.
A good HP changes the job of a feeder - changes it from a tube carrier to a tube pusher, which doesn't even require the ability to carry a tube. Throwing a tube is a lot faster than feeding it through a slot.
Here is a video of TC finals match 3:
