Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous

Assuming they could do the third as fast as the first two, they'd need a bare minimum of 18 seconds (since I'm guessing the second/third tube takes longer than the first).

That'd be really impressive, but I'm not sure it'd be all that valuable! It'd seem pretty uncommon that a hypothetical triple-uber robot is with two partners who can't uber more reliably than they can get all three! Perhaps I have too much faith in the "average" robot... :-)
