There are ways to make it work, but the only way I can think of is holding the ring above the plate at some angle, then dropping it so the top gets past the plate and lands on the post, while the bottom swings below. That would require a bit extra height when going for the top post.

I think 2 fingers would be better than 3. It would make it easier to get spoilers off of the post.

Also, with the 3 fingers, it might be harder to back away once they release the tube. They were intended to slightly fit around the plate, and once you contract them to release the tube, they wont fit past the plate again.

Just a side note, remember this rule when you are scoring

Quote:
<G33> Field interaction - ROBOTS may push or react against any elements of the field, provided there is no damage or disruption of the field elements. ROBOTS may not grab, grasp, grapple, or attach to any field structure. Robot may not HANG GAME PIECES on the Vision System Targets , or otherwise block visual access to the Vision System Targets. If a ROBOT violates this rule, the head referee will give one warning. If the referee determines that the TEAM is disregarding the warning, their ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the match.
When you release a ringer it looks like you are going to need to close your gripper around the end of the spider's foot. But maybe I’m just being unimaginative and don’t see the way your driver plans on scouring.

Re: pic: 1881 tube interface idea

Hmm, thats a very interesting idea, they look kind of small though.

I wonder how you would remove a spoiler or score on the bottom row?
