Human players will have to train in throwing techniques so they don't accidentally throw a tube into the opponent's scoring zone. That would be very bad.
I think there's an additional benefit of a smaller time frame of your opponents can be alerted to your attempt to receive a logo tube. This probably requires your feeder to be able to not just accurately throw but to be able to time. Hopefully teams will be able to provide a rough estimate of how their robot can go so the feeder will be able to time no matter what robot it is.
