Go to Post There is no shame in admitting someone is better than you at something doesn't make them a better person just means they have skill you haven't figured out yet. The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. - Mc Kenna [more]

While a vortex cannon would have to be rather large to disrupt a noodle's flight at any range, the real impracticality would be targeting - even if you could aim it fast enough, noodles don't fly straight enough to regularly be where your vortex will be. If you're going to use up all or much of a robot defending against litter, it's much easier and more effective to process it after it falls, preferably with the smallest FRC robot you can build.
