This is exactly how I was imagining the pick up going. If it works right, all you need to do is drop the arm down, then you can open the claw and raise the arm on the way to the goal, drastically lowering the amount of work required to take control of the tube. In fact, that just makes one motion necessary, which puts the inside grab on par with a normal pinch type claw.
