Both 217 ThunderChickens and 469 Las Guerrillas have a "grabbing" style (or non-active, as we're calling it here, I guess) pickup, and have a two-tube autonomous. 33 Killer Bees also have a two-tube autonomous, although their pickup uses rollers. All three used their two-tube autonomous programs at the Troy District Competition this past weekend; however, there was some measure of inconsistency for all three teams.
217 and 33 seemed to be having troubles with their programs during the semifinals, an issue that I credit partially with their elimination in the semis; however, 469's program worked flawlessly in the two finals matches that their alliance won. In fact, in Finals Matches 1 and 3, the Red Alliance was able to score all three ubertubes with only two robots capable of scoring in autonomous.
