Re: Gears: vigorously placing vs. launching

Anything above 3 inches, and that's being generous.
If a gear is going further then that with the intent being the gear is placed somewhere I'd call it launching.

So I got my jacket back, but it turns out the "W" in WPI doesn't stand for that steak sauce I can't pronounce.
Play is for kids this is serious...
