There really isn't a good place to put something like that. The arm has a very limited range of travel so it can't bend around a corner to grab something weirdly placed.
Current plan is to put tube on ground touching bumper. Back up, extend arm, open gripper, drive into tube, close gripper, proceed with auton.
My lasting impression of 217 (for years now) has been based on how their robot looks, dynamically. It is poultry in motion. :) - Richard Wallace [more]
