Brilliant strategy!
(I'm smiling, since our strategy is virtually the same as yours.)
By the way, we are going to Arizona also, and our robot is a close relative of yours, namely a big arm up on top. Our arm telescopes out 13+ feet, and retracts by raising up to almost vertical. Here's a thread for our robot.

It will be interesting if we are in a match with you folks, either on your side or as competitors.
See you in Arizona.
