With the chute door held open would a passive mechanism using only bearings (think flat 254 ramp) allow you to throw totes onto the other side of the field at your opponents by slamming them through the chute door as hard as you possibly can? Can a human throw it hard it enough to knock over a stack? My guess is this wouldn't work, but boy do I want to see someone try.
I strongly recommend that any teams thinking about doing this actually try it first.

Yeah, I don't know if a tote could even knock down a full stack if it was a foot in front of the door.
