If 8 tubes are scored by a single robot during a qualifying/elimination match at any event this season I will eat my shoe. Was there a robot that ever scored 8 tubes in a single match during Rack'n'Roll?

Certainly it is a handicap, but I do not think it is an insurmountable one (especially at the regional level).
