Sure, it's possible. Just like it's possible to do with Throwbots. I have one posted at (URL) a simple example. There are miscellaneous Technic parts included.

I wish both arms could throw, though. The left arm is made of (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general, lugnet.promo)
