But, if my math is right being picked twice in the first round and making QFs would likely get you to DCMP.
What would this involve? A flow controlled cylinder and some either fiberglass rod or pvc. Oh, and the KoP drivetrain. Which, even accounting for my constant pessimism about the abilities of teams, makes this the cheapest to implement MCC I've ever come up with[2]
[1] There's a discussion to be had as to whether this was a rational decision, I'd make the argument that most teams picking can burglars first round were being irrational as the majority of alliances at district or even NE DCMP were NOT constrained by cans. BUT the fact remains that these picks were consistently made through the first 5 weeks.
[2] I don't think I did one for 2010, which would have been cheaper as I would have said "a drivetrain that doesn't involve those AM lift kits and drive practice"

The slight issue with this argument is at weak events, no one would pick canburglars.
