Go to Post My crotchety old person opinion is that it should be illegal to try to win the award. Do things because you like doing them or because it helps others. Don't do things to win awards. - Madison [more]

Re: Is throwing worth it ?

Throwing is definitely worth it. It allows you to do so much. Its even better if you can switch between throwing and rolling. With throwing you can play "monkey in the middle" with a defending opposing robot. You can throw over the truss and give the catch points to your alliance, although I don't recommend it. Unless your team can catch the first try and get into position amazingly fast, its just a waste of precious time. If you play your cards right, then throwing is just as fast, if not faster, than rolling into the low goal. Even though its just a 9 point bonus compared to the low goal, its those 9 points that add up and make the difference in matches.
