This year is different, I think teams that toss their tubes onto the field will be like tossing a worm into a fishbowl, you better be the fastest fish cause i'm going to try and take that tube.

In your Lane your protected, you can give the tube to your robot in the orientation that you want (Important for the Triangle and Square) and as long as you have a good gripper, that tube is as good as yours. No variables.

We actually haven't decided yet, but thats my opinion.
