I was on the opposing alliance at the time, but didn't see the tube get knocked down. Looking back at that point in that match from the recorded video(01:01:43 of

From 3344's standpoint at the time it was a glimmer of hope to get our ~2 second, one-night minibot deployed during elimination matches after running out of battery during that match (didn't have a charged one so we gambled, but the 10+ minute wait time for the techs to fix the field during the previous match must have killed the battery).
Nonetheless, the #2 alliance deserved the win, and I'm glad they pushed through to finals.
