however cool that may be, it'd be pretty dangerous. My reasoning:

a) not even "Battlebots" (how dare speak of it in these forums) allows projectiles for safety reasons

b)we nearly killed (ok so i'm exaggerating) a cameraman last year at Silicon Vallye Regional when we missed a goal and the tetra fell...imagine what projectiles could do

c)in my opinion, the only practical application in previous FIRST games for projectiles was for hanging...something that teams managed to do quite well without them.
