For those who haven't seen team 40's robot, the basic design is essentially Pink 2k7 with swerve drive. This allows them to pick up from both sides of their robot. They score the first tube as normal, and then back up diagonally, while lowering their arm to pick up from behind. They then pick up the tube directly in line with their partner's stationary robot, tilt the arm back to forward, and score it. Its a very efficient system.

Yes. This was correct. I believe they used their camera to detect the yellow of the Ubertube and strafed over to pick it up. It was amazing to see it in the finals. The gym at WPI erupted when it happened. By far one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Autonomous.
