Very nice design. How well does it pick up from the feeder? Or do you just have the human player drop them on the floor?

Yes, we can grab it from the fear.

We haven't tried picking a tube up from the feeder station but our arm geometry should let us get a tube pretty easily. We might use a strategy that involves the human player throwing tubes near us but it has not been concluded.
