Re: Is this strategy possible?

Is there any rules that anybody thinks we would be violating with this strategy? and how feasible is it to make a launcher that can shoot that far and accurately? I would like some feedback because I am still a little iffy on this idea but I dont have any proof or rule saying that this isnt possible of feasible. If this is possible and no rules against it I'm all for it but i guess i need some comfort haha
Is it possible? Probably. Is it feasible? That's up for you to decide, really.

This same sort of discussion occurred last year, but considering how much more consistently the frisbees fly than the RR balls, I can see at least one team managing to make it work.

There certainly aren't any rules against it, however.
