Just food for thought.
From the field in 2007, we had no problem getting over the spider leg, the real problem was getting our claw lined up so the tube would drop over the foot. Mostly it's the defense, we posted two matches in a row of four tubes on Friday afternoon, and we got doubled teamed for the rest of the tournament and had a hard time even getting to the rack. I would agree the shapes might make it hard, but seeing through the rack with tubes wasn't that much harder than seeing through the rack period (those tubes might've been more translucent?). I like to give robots the benefit of the doubt.

P.S. You can call me Ian.
