Re: Can litter be tossed across the step?

I think a better way to look at it is like this:

Litter MAY be thrown across the step;

however,

CAN it be thrown across the step?

After much play with the official noodle that came in the kit of parts I will submit that there is no repeatable way to make these noodles fly that distance. Maybe 1 in 20 will make it across.

Then in the last 20 seconds of the match the opposing alliance can just push any litter that you managed to get on their side of the field into their landfill and negate your work.

IMHO: Throwing noodles is not a viable option.
