I never really bothered to look at this much during the season, but wouldn't most missed ubertubes fall into the other alliance's safe zone, where they cannot be stolen? Imagine if you made it legal to go anywhere - including safe zones - to pick up ubertubes...scrum!
If you want to talk about stealing - suspend the penalty for crossing the midfield line in auton - steal ubertubes from would-be 2/3 tube scorers. That would lead to too many robot collisions and bad juju due to misaligned robots going off who knows where. But it would be a fun dynamic when it worked.
