There is a difference between designs and pratical robots. For all intensive purposes, I could build a giant sling shot to shot the crates into the tank. But just because I could build it doesn't mean that it is effective or that I could build it well.
And besides, having a playing field which is non symmetrical is going to cause one alliance to have advantages over the other.
