Tossing a bin at the ramp in HP

Cory · #1 02-06-2003, 23:59

So this discussion has come up a few times in tigerbolt. We have talked about tossing a bin at the center stack of 29 during the human player period.

Technically, following FIRST rules, IF the bin landed upright, this would only incur two minor penalties. One for throwing a bin, one for placing a bin outside of your respective scoring zone. If you were to toss it and it didnt land upright, you would be disqualified.

If someone actually did that, they could change the whole balance of the match, granted not for their own good though.

So, I wanna know whos gonna toss one at the wall and see what happens

. Do you guys think that it should be an automatic DQ even if it lands right side up?
