Ubertube Scoring

I have no idea if teams know this or not but here's my two cents. Scoring in autonomous an ubertube on the triangle peg or square peg still counts as many points as scoring on the circle peg. At kettering our team was having a little reach issues during autonomous so the programmers fooled around with the code a little and now we hang it on the triangle or square peg achieving the same amount of points as a team who strives to reach the top and score on the circle peg.

I just think that most teams have the ability of reaching these two pegs in autonomous but just don't have enough height to reach the very top. It wouldn't be a huge change in your programming and you might just score a lot more autonomous points and maybe, just maybe you get picked cause your able to score.

So yeah those are my two cents, hope this helps somebody.
