how to throw tubes

[Nelson]

I have had more succes with a forward hammer throw, I can reliably get the tubes to the safety zone, and facing forward you have more accuracy with where the tube ends up.

This would be like 469's design last year of them making their robot to the field. Seriously though wouldn't that make more sense than having a hp who has to get really good at throwing the tubes over the wall?

I thought of this the other day to. Even if they cant score the tubes by throwing them they will be ideal as a feeder.
