The question isn't whether or not you can pick tubes off the floor. It's how quick you and your partners can get those tubes off the floor compared to the others guys behind the opposite glass can. Teams need to be dead set honest with themselves on this because if they overestimate their capabilities and underestimate their opponents capabilities they could be setting themselves up for a serious butt kicking.
That means scouting is really important this year. Not just to determine who you want on you alliance but what the other robot can or cannot do so you can do that voodoo that you do so well.

Excellent point. This is always a problem though teams claiming they can do things they cant. I always try to be as diplomatic as possible and tell them to stop kidding themselves. I find it is much easier when it is an adult coach not saying I have not meet some killer student coaches. They just are more honest with themselves
