Re: feeding uber-tube pre-game - legal?

My only concern would be that it is not controlled through the FMS. Again, I am not an inspector, but I have a feeling they will not allow it.

Not knowing what your robot looks like or how it functions; would it be possible to do something else. Like adding a manual crank to the motor to turn the rollers and grab the tube? This is just another alternative that popped in my head. Again, have no idea if it is feasible with your design.
