Re: Throwing Totes

Benefits: Faster stacking (hopefully), less driving (hopefully)

Drawbacks: Lots of misses, high chance for penalties (multiple types, some with red cards attached), high safety risk due to flying heavy objects.

Ya know, just a quick look says that maybe I should not try this. Two possible benefits vs at least three definite drawbacks.
