Unless you can block teh center of the can against another center robot.
Tug of war scenarios opens up a new avenue of strategy: determining the price a team is willing to pay to hold on to the can. Is it worth 5-15 seconds of tele-op for something you may not win? Is it worth a broken arm?

It becomes a physical auction of sorts that drive teams will have to manage very carefully.

But based on the canburglars I've seen, I'm not sure how often such a scenario will occur.
