With any tube on the ground in the lane, it makes it difficult if not impossible for most robots to get close enough to the feeder slot to accept a tube. For robots that can't pick up off the ground, this is a disabling move, since they're unable to get the blocking tube out of the way. For robots who pick up off the ground, it's a minor nuisance if they prefer to pull from the feeder slot, but it's time wasted dealing with the offending tube if they want to accept from the slot.
It should be noted that the tubes are wide enough that you can't get around them in the lane, the only way to remove them is to pick them up and put them somewhere else.
