Go to Post I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. - Ether [more]

Challenge: Tube Throwing

I have read alot of talk lately about how throwing tubes out onto the field is a bad idea "cause it's closer to your opponents." This argument is valid, why would you help your opponents?

Therefore, I challenge everyone to find the best way to throw a tube across the field. Preferably all three shapes.

It's as simple as that. Throw the tubes across the field (into your safe zone) then come back here and tell everyone how.

Thus far, I have found that I can throw a tube the farthest by facing backwards and two-handing it up over my head and over the wall virtically so it rolls/bounces. I think I could get the circle and square all the way there with practice and a bounce or two, and the triangle about 3/4s of the way there although I didn't actually measure. Maybe tomarrow.

YOU got a better way to throw it? Tips, methods, and good practices are welcome to be shared.

Thanks, Bryan
