Our first ideas were to use out riggers and have 4 suction cups about that size or a little bit bigger, but after some testing we found out you could put 130 lb of suction cups if you wanted and they would do absolutely nothing. When you have a bot that weighs 130 pounds crash into you at 12 FPS your bot is gonna move thats a given, no matter how many suction cups you have.
