The idea would also make me nervous, as if you fall, you're taking down 2 other bots that may have never even thought to design for taking a fall like that. An alliance would be destroyed. Not to mention packaging all the other mechanisms would likely be a nightmare.

Nonetheless, it would be awesome if someone were to pull it off. Totally would be THE bot of the year. It'd be sick.
The platform idea is near impossible, but if you instead had two bars that stuck outside your bumper perimeter 30in off the ground for the other two robots to hang on (would require your partners to adjust their hangers) its feasible and I'm sure you could throw a very simple shooter that you could use in auto as well as make a few cycles before climbing for 30 with your partners.
