<G06> only states that each ROBOT must be in contact with one UBERTUBE, it does not prohibit a ROBOT being in possession of a LOGO PIECE at the start of the match.

I had a similar initial reaction to the change. Then I though that if that were the intent of the change, it would have made more sense to remove the "or during the MATCH" phrase instead of changing UBERTUBE to GAME PIECES, especially since this is in the Pre-Match section of the rules.
