This was my thought as well, until I remembered that some robots do not have an autonomous or shut it off due to another robot having a double tube auton. I think its safe to say that IRI will have most robots with at least a single tube auton, but I am wondering whether it's worth the risk to leave a tube on the ground "in front" of the robot so that it can be placed on the same row as the others. Obviously the ideal method would be to have each robot to place a tube on the same side of the grid, but that gets crowded and increases the risk of dropping a tube into the opposing alliance lane. It will be interesting to see which method is preferred at IRI.
