What I find smarter is backing up a foot after the tube is on before letting go....I still can't get over the sheer humour that would happen when team x caps nothing but air because team y held the legs a foot back with the tube and then let go and shaking away it went. I thought a lot of teams would catch on to this strategy for autonomous, as it almost eliminates the chance of any team after you scoring... as far as our counter to the fact that the spider may be turning, well we have three kicks at the can so to speak, our tube only comes off it brought to the floor or catches on something ie the spider leg... so start at the top drive the elevator down to the bottom, and chances are great that you will hit one of the legs... also any team that hold the ringer parallel to the floor seems to have a better chance when the spiders move like mad
