Bin throwing bots?

Originally I heard a lot of talk about bin throwing bots. Are there any teams that actually got a working bot that can throw bins? If so, how fast can you throw them? I think it would be pretty cool to watch and hope that some show up at the NW regional in Seattle, WA.

Check these threads out for a little bit more discussion on the topic of throwing the bins:

I would expect bots that can throw them, would go somewhere between, all the way to the other side of the field, to just a few feet. Both would be great strategies.

Hi, Garrett from # 16, the Baxter Bomb Squad, Initially we were toying around with the idea of throwing boxes, but decided against it when we saw how brittle they were. We decided that it wasn't worth doing if there was even a chance we could get penalized for damaging the boxes.
