Can you cite that rule?

The rules that I've read say you can't throw game pieces over the Step. I haven't seen anything about throwing other than that.

Relevant rules I've seen:

G23: ROBOTS may not cause TOTES, RECYCLING CONTAINERS, and/or LITTER to completely leave the FIELD.
VIOLATION: FOUL for each item. If egregious, offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

G24: ROBOTS may not cause TOTES, RECYCLING CONTAINERS, and/or LITTER to completely transfer from their side of the FIELD,
or from the STEP, onto the opposite side of the FIELD.
VIOLATION: FOUL. If egregious or strategic, RED CARD and offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

And the most relevant part:

The following actions are prohibited with regards to interaction with FIELD elements (items A-D exclude TOTES, RECYCLING
CONTAINERS, and LITTER):
A. grabbing
B. grasping
C. grappling
D. attaching to
E. becoming entangled
F. hanging
G. damaging (exception: unintentional damage to LITTER)
H. tying
VIOLATION: FOUL. If the Head REFEREE determines that further damage is likely to occur, offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.
Corrective action (such as eliminating sharp edges, removing the damaging MECHANISM, and/or re-Inspection) may be
required before the ROBOT will be allowed to compete in subsequent MATCHES

Note that only E,F,G,H apply to the TOTES.

So there isn't a rule that explicitly PROHIBITS throwing around totes, UNLESS that will cause damage to it, which it might.
