Our team does not start design until Monday but I was thinking the same as other people I have read above. A tether bot that goes and knocks down other team's crates would be nice to have but partly impractical. A robot that can knock down these crates would have to be more then the extra 2 pounds you happen to have left on your robot. The tether bot's weight would take away from the regular robots weight defeating the purpose of defending and destroying. Although If the Judges say no to a tether bot then removing it can be easily done between practice and competition but it would be bad if your entire strategy depends on that tether bot.

If what I said makes no sense, please guess at what I mean because it is late and I am tired and I am not thinking clearly.
