If it is tethered, is it a projectile?

[longwaytofall]

i know in the manual, 9.1 S10 says that the containers are the only projectiles that will be permitted, but if it is on a string or cable, would it be ok? i am thinking if u could rig an air powered cannon on top with a couple of servos to aim it, u could knock over another team's stack while still on the top platform. mabey a beanbag or something, with a spool to bring it back into the barrel. a laser pointer would be enough to get your aim right. what do u guys think? also, anybody who actually got to see the ramp upclose, which way is the mesh going to be placed? if the little rods were going side to side, then you could get allot more traction. thanks!
