For the first tube:
The 2 minibot towers are not only a rule, but a useful alignment aid. Find something on your robot to align with the towers, and you will have a constant depth reference. Then make sure it is pointed straight up the field at the goal you are intending.
The second tube requires a bit more creativity (but not much). It does require a lot more patience and tuning. Make sure you get 1 and get it repeatably before going for 2. Never compromise 1 for 2. Doing 2 requires a partner letting you, which can be more difficult than you might think. We had a 5 ball auto last year that we were only able to use a couple times.
