One of the first things we did was take the tubes into a large room and see how far we could throw them, and we averaged about 25-30ft.

Cutting travel time by 1/3 might mean significantly higher scoring, even with the risk of losing tubes to the other team, but effectively throwing and catching the tubes is a challenge. Thoughts?
