This will not neccesarily be called by the referees during the match. It is only if there is intentional herding of the tubes during the match that can be called. In the FIRST Q&A forums a question concerning multiple contacts of tubes was brought up and it was answered that if it is not intentional, then the team would not be penalized. So, if the tubes were being knocked over and not "herded" then the plan shouldn't be penalized.
