I don't see this as being a problem. A 150 lbs robot traveling more than 0 fps will win a pushing match with a tube any day of the week. If you ram into a tube trying to get to the feeder station the tube will move out of the way or at least flip up against the wall. I can't seeing this being a problem for any robot let alone be a stratigy. I would, however, consider it a good stratigy to remove potential points from the opponents reach by stealing/pushing tubes in the middle of the field to your side. Not only do you not have to go as far to get a tube but your opponents are robbed of the same opportunity.

my 2 cents
