I believe there will be teams that are tall and can shoot well, but they will not make it very far because they can be blocked before they even get in their shooting position. Remember, the robot has to drive almost the whole length of the field to get to its shooting position.

6 weeks? Making a tall robot that doesn't tip can be done over lunch break at your regional. Lexan and some 1/16in box aluminum doesn't weigh very much.
Also as a word of caution, intentionally tipping an opponent ends very, very badly.
