I could see a robot that was entirely a mechanism to grab containers from the center being very popular at the championship (if they can get there!). If it always won the center step race, or would always have enough force to pull the containers to their side, it would be able to cap the maximum stack score of any alliance significantly lower than I expect competitive alliances to score.

A robot built to do only this is attainable for a decent number of teams, but I don't know how many teams will be crazy enough to try it.
