S10: The storage containers are the only projectiles that may be launched by a robot.

Quote:
DA1: A referee may disable a robot that has damaged the playing field, barriers, containers or
another robot, if the referee feels that further damage is likely to occur. The referees may
require a corrective action, such as eliminating a sharp edge, before the robot will be
allowed to compete in subsequent matches.
The manual explicitly states that it is legal for a robot to launch containers. The lids are rivited shut, and should therefore not come off.
You can launch the container so long as the launch itself does not damage the container. If the subsequent impact damages the container it is the robot that has damaged the containers. This would therefor be legal.
