Just to clarify for those who don't know our comp team:
Morton the Arm Operator is Miked
Jeremy the Base Driver significantly quieter throughout the match
Bobby D is the coach, you can hear him saying things like "They're not throwing much"

When Morton releases a tube, he is yelling "Auto Auto" if you were wondering. This means he pressed the button for the auto release routine which takes control of the arm to move it down while ejecting the tube with the roller gripper and takes control of the driver to turn in place. This routine simplifies release while avoiding knocking other tubes off the rack (or getting caught). Since the routine takes control away from the driver joystick, the "Auto" queue tells Jeremy to move the joystick to a position to back away as soon as the routine finishes.
