Only down side is they shatter pretty easily when you run a 150lbs robot in to them.

2005 tetras were made of PVC, and 2004 goals were PVC, and I don't remember breakage being a big problem.

I am totally behind PVC pipe game pieces: cheap, strong, readily available, potentially hard to manipulate, dangerous at high speeds.

Putting the fact that we probably have to implement cartoon physics aside... How about boomerangs made from PVC pipe?

As they fly through the air they make a choppy sort of sound - something the Blue Man Group would love

Boomerangs are hard enough to throw let alone designing a robot to throw them, Maybe if you were to have it picked up and spun at a high rpm and released at a precise time. My vote would be for an UNDER-WATER GAME!!
