Here's the only decent picture of golden tube action I got.

Taken about 2 seconds before team 40 successfully scored it. Many teams were quite successful with the golden tube, Buzz and the Nutrons partucularly stood out. It also gave a lot of teams the chance to show off their ability to remove tubes. It seemed like a good modification, but should have been worth less if no team scored in auto.
