Re: Feeding VS. Throwing tubes into Play?
Throwing tubes will likely end up being situational... If you know the other alliance can't pick up tubes from the ground, go ahead and throw. If you know you can get it near your robot while no one from the other alliance is near by, go ahead and throw. if you're amazing enough to get it into the 7' protection zone on the other end of the field, go ahead and throw. Otherwise, punching it out the hole to get it to the end of the lane is going to be your best bet - it's closer to your robot, and the other team can't touch it.
