That strategy only works if the robot has a loose grip on the tube, and the piece that you are throwing won't help them complete a logo. I did see one of 2415/1771 drop a tube ONCE due to this, but they picked up the original tube and scored it on their second try.

Note that this strategy is poor if there is a tube that is scored, but hanging by a thread, cause accidentally de-scoring it is a red-card in elims. This gave the #7 alliance one more chance to beat #2 (Although it ended up not mattering).
