AGHH!! Shield the robot! It's raining plastic pool tubes from above! Take cover! (dives under the control station)
Sorry couldn't resist that one.
In all seriousness, I don't think we have to worry about raining pool tubes damaging anything. I dare you to attempt to injure someone with one of these tubes. Aside from excessive and repeated whacking, or popping a tube right next someone's ear (ouch). There's really no way to hurt people with these things.
Now damage from the rubber balls from last year were a real concern, repeated pummelings from large chunks of rubber can hurt quite a bit, but teams managed to build robots (and flag holders) that withstood those just fine.
So, once you consider this stuff, I don't think we should have to really worry about the deadly tubes of robot destruction.
