We just got our two scoring modes working reliably. We score on the middle row, at either height.

is there a reason why you don't start with the tube?

To be holding the tube before the beginning of Autonomous would require us to be outside of the starting dementions. The rules only state that the Ubertube be in contact with the robot. So, we just place it against the bumper. It is a very repeatable position.

Awesome idea! We ran into this same problem cause of the minibots tray position. But we can have to tube on our fingertips and then suck it in as we lift...
not how I prefer doing it, but things rarely work out the way you'd hope :)
