I noticed it takes a bit of adjustment to get the grabber to snap onto the PVC tube properly. In a game where there may be many of these tubes, I would try to aim for a quick lock on the tube after your robot aligns with the edge of the box. I can imagine putting an encoder or (probably even better) a potentiometer to the extending mechanism to program it to stop going forward when the grabber is aligned with the pipe.
I'm curious what the team is doing (if anything) to address that.
