If your team doesn't have an autonomous to score the Ubertube then I'd suggest leaving it out of your manipulator when the match starts and just sitting it on the floor while still in contact with the robot.

Odds are that that a ref will remove the tubes after Autonomous anyway to prevent them from getting damaged. (Some events did this in 2007, I wouldn't guarantee that it'll happen this year, but it may.)

Theoretically, you could HERD the tube into another alliances Zone or Lane, but it's sort of a waste of time, IMO.
