The top teams at Oregon City didn't really throw noodles, and I think that is why we didn't see much noodle throwing at that event. Expect that to change when Wilsonville rolls around next week.
Part of the reason nobody threw them much was many noodles would get caught under a robot and trashed and people got mad at not being able to move for obvious reasons. Also the human players weren't as skilled at throwing the noodles as some of the teams from the Dallas regional for example, where noodles made it all the way across the field.
