We haven't prototyped anything outside of our feet yet, but standing up a horizontal container mostly seems a matter of pushing down on the bottom with something grippy and backing up. Not sure if that wasted time is worth the 8 auto points, but container teams are probably going to want some sort of uprighting system anyways unless they're planning on playing in the land of spherical chickens.
