Legal, yes. Practical, who knows? Sure, if you have extra ringers at the end of the round, why not? But to use this as a main strategy--and have HPs try and get them on a rack seems somewhat unreliable. Yes, you can probably do it, but the question is how often will it happen. To use Carnegie's Cost/Benefit analysis scenario, if it takes you 5 ringers to get 1 in, does it really seem worth it to waste those 5 just to get your 6th (or one of the 6 in) when you could use those ringers to feed other robots or use them for various other strategies.

Our HP and Coach have been practicing continually on doing this and he's getting better and better, but it's still not good enough to warrant it as a main strategy.
