Re: Poll: Picking up tubes
We can consistently pick up tubes off the floor. If it's within reach of our grabber we can pick a tube off the floor and retract our arm within 3/4 of a second(.75).

Once retracted, the arm and tube are complete inside our machines frame keeping it safe and secure from being knocked off, or our arm damaged inadvertently by other robots.

Now if we can only score that quick and easy. LOL! (it's a work in progress)
