Re: how to throw tubes

Hahaha, whether or not that particular throw from 118's HP was legal, it was high enough to get over the wall, so if he were to throw from the other side of the driver's station (so it would arc through the middle of the field), he'd be fine.

I personally spent some time trying to learn how to throw those tubes, and I've had some comparable to that throw (they landed in the zone... not on the bottom peg lol), but throwing the tube in an arc like that requires incredible precision... let go of the tube slightly early or slightly late and you're toast, as the tube can arc out of bounds on one side, the other side, hit a tower, another robot, land in one of the opponents' lanes, or do something unexpected if it's a square or a triangle.
