Even a simple strategy like only going for the kickstand could have three variations, one for each of the three tower rotations, that would get the robot to the correct position.

That doesn't work. From the manual (Game Manual part II, p. 9):
After Teams place their Robots on the Playing Field and pre-load the Autonomous Balls, the Referees will rotate the Center Goal into 1 of 3 random positions with respect to the Alliance Station. A pair of IR beacons are located in the middle of the Center Goal pointing outward to help teams find the Alliance-specific Center Goal. Once the Center Goal is rotated, Teams may not touch or otherwise make adjustments to the Robots (per Rule <G18>).
