It's weird, because the entire length of tubing is very awkward and out of place, especially for 254. Its routed on the outside of the box tube, while we can clearly see more tube on the inside, it flows over the electronics, most the zipties connecting the 2 strands together are not cut at the tips, there is an out of place zip-tie on the middle-right cross member, and all the right intake plumbing is not facing the camera.

Considering all of that, I would say it isn't a stray tube for a magic bin grabber, like Andrew may or may not have been implying. It looks like the intake was probably taken off for maintenance reasons and quickly put on for the purpose of a photo shoot, along with all the pneumatic plumbing.



All that being said, it looks like another world championship winner, and I can't wait to see it work!
