Re: Throwing Noodles, is it Worth it?

Some thoughts:

As MaGiC_PiKaChU claimed, throwing noodles and not having them land inside the field does NOT seem to be a foul. G23 states "ROBOTS may not cause TOTES, RECYCLING CONTAINERS, and/or LITTER to completely leave the FIELD." Robots. Not Human Players. There's nothing in the rules about HPs accidentally throwing outside of the field.

Also, even if you're not going to throw them, don't try and restrict other teams from throwing noodles. I can guarantee you that there's a certain technique to throwing noodles that can get noodles the proper distance 95% of the time, with most going exceptionally far.

The tape helps a little bit in keeping the noodle fly straighter, but it's not too much.

We're absolutely going to be throwing at least 3 noodles a match.
