really silly question for you cory

If FIRST wanted you to throw bins at the wall to I guess help the opponents scoring abilities out, don't you think they would have OK'd it in the rules ?

I mean yeah it could be a good thing to test whether or not you would be dq'd but don't try it during the competition try it during a practice round where points isn't an issue, and you won't put yours or your partners rank at risk!

If it was allowed I say it should be a DQ'd b/c your basically throwing yourselves at the opponents mercy w/o even trying to compete. You've given up before you even did anything. Lose the match naturally, don't lose it over a DQ or something stupid

Furthermore the only objects the human player may touch for during the 10 second intervale is his given 4 Stack and that is the only thing he is allowed to mess with concerning the scoring outcome of the match


Just my personal opinion!!!!
