It will be quite a bit easier to bump a tube off by mistake.... and if you expect to place a tube by pulling back and reacting with the plate (as many teams did in 2007) ... you will pull the tube right over that small plate. (It's radius is only 1 3/8") not much for the tube to react against.
No STINGER, either (that little black rubber piece).

Also, in 2007 the plates were mounted so the PVC rod was at the bottom. Are they mounted the same way this year, or are they centered on the rod?
