Probably at the Championship too.

A reliable robot with the capability to load and offload tubes quickly would be valuable to any alliance. My personal theory is that the method of pickup needs to be as simple and fast as possible - think just dropping a tube from the Feeder onto a peg on the back of the robot.

If this "Fetcher" could also score some tubes on the bottom peg, or even the middle, especially in autonomous, they'll be worth their weight in gold in events with extremely capable scorers.
