I didn't go to see the matches, I watched them from youtube but what I noticed was that most of robots couldn't get to the tower during the minibot race because of the other robots.
I think defending the opposite alliance's towers is a great idea because they won't get high points for it.

Even though the game is called "Logomotion" in most Qualification matches I played in and saw, Tubes could not, and did not offset the points scored by a single minibot.
The tubes aren't a constant size. Make sure your gripper can grab anything between 6" and 9".
(Seriously though, I really hope that Team update 17 comes out and devalues the minibot race by at least 1/3rd. 30 points is way too much for first place, especially considering that you need to make two complete logos on the top row to offset ONE minibot going up the pole and getting first place. Why call the game Logomotion if it's not about making the FIRST logo? If we wanted to play with mini robots then we'd go play in FTC or VRC.)
