Looks like this:

Fire your starting 3, possibly while dropping your pick up (which faces center field), and backing up toward the centerline discs.

Grab the centerline discs, and fire them as you drive all the way to the alliance wall with your pickup up.

Grab the forward and under-pyramid discs as you return to your starting position and fire them.

It'll be tight, but I'm pretty sure its possible with a robot that's designed for it.
We designed our offseason bot pretty much exactly along those lines. Stay tuned to hear it will end up working out.
