In 2007 the robot could not be touching the tube, so if the momentum carries it to the peg and the "gripper" has no contact then it could score.
This Game rule is a significant change from previous years. I would expect some more clarification on this one. Especially given that only 4 bots can deploy minibots, the other 2 should be trying to score tubes. A few seconds can win or lose a match.

In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]
