I wouldn't sweat this one too much. Personally I don't think that many teams are going to spend time trying to build a robot that can/will pick up another robot. If anything, the physics of it would be difficult. 130 lbs that you're picking up vs. the 130 lbs that you weigh means that more than likely you'll tip over your wheels (yes, many ways around this, but will teams bother trying?) There are many other ways to score points that are easier than this.

~Tom Fairchild~, who thinks that its going to be like teams lowering their own score two years back - a problem that could have arised but never really did.
