Support Robot Concept

This is a neat idea.

Launching tubes that are 3 different shapes 54 feet across the field into your home zone consistently is a big challenge. There are a couple reasons why this would work as well as why it wouldn't.

Here's why it would work:
1. Because opponents aren't allowed in your loading station, your launches won't get blocked by opposing teams.
2. The area in which the tubes must land is pretty big (17' by 8' iirc). Allows for a significant margin of error in terms of flight trajectory, etc.

Here's why it won't work:
1. Opposing teams can raise their towers and sit in front of the opposing team's home zone knocking down any launched tubes.
2. Even though teams have the ability of extending outside of the frame perimeter this year, designing a device to hurl a lightweight tube 55 feet is no small task. The force required would be substantial.
