T21 restricts equipment that can be brought into the ALLIANCE STATION. An atlatl would be considered equipment.

Oh. OK, thanks!

But...

G24 ROBOTS may not cause TOTES, RECYCLING CONTAINERS, and/or LITTER to completely transfer from their side of the FIELD,
or from the STEP, onto the opposite side of the FIELD.
VIOLATION: FOUL. If egregious or strategic, RED CARD and offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

So, no throwing noodles. UNLESS I am missing something here...

A HUMAN PLAYER is not a ROBOT.

Yes, there is an UNLESS. There is no rule stopping the Human Player from throwing noodles over the Alliance Wall prior to the last 20 seconds. Let me find the rule number ...

Rule G33 :

LITTER may be introduced onto the FIELD only during TELEOP and only in the following ways:
A. through the LITTER CHUTE, or
B. over the ALLIANCE WALL prior to the last twenty (20) seconds of the MATCH.
VIOLATION: FOUL per LITTER.

Oops, guess cgmv123 beat me to it!
