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

We are adding an arm extension (that we did not use week 1 because we lost 9 days to ice/snow during build season) and the gripper will be in a vertical position with the uber-tube sitting in the jaws of the gripper. Hopefully it will pull it in (first thing) during autonomous mode.

If not, we are gonna make it so we can slide a plastic gear out of place so the gripper wheels will rotate then slide it back (secured with a shaft collar). It is a bit tricky but doable.

Thanks for all the advice.
