2. A robot that can elevate and use gravity to feed 3 balls in the 2 point goal in one dump. This accompanied with a super fast drive train and a quick ball pick up could be a very reliable partner. I always think a scissor lift is a terrible idea, and almost every year someone builds an effective one. Here's your chance.

3. A robot that can move up onto to two wheels like a segway to make room on the bridge for two alliance partners.
Regarding, Number 3, would that not violate the bumper rule? Unless you meant a small robot with only 2 wheels.
