Well, there's some good cheesecake for this year. Maybe a bit far fetched, but here's a scenario that gets 3 scales plus a CAPTURE with only 2 robots actually doing the lifting...
Team A cheesecakes Robot B to have a simple mechanism that dispatches a rare earth magnet and some string on an arm. Robot A (Team A's robot) is designed for another robot to drive on top of it and then lift both robots. Robot B drives on top of Robot A. Robot A lifts both so that both sets of bumpers are above the low goals. Robot B then extends the arm to bring the magnet close enough to the empty rung to touch it and "stick" to it via the magnetism. Robot C scales or has scaled the remaining side of the tower.

In the above scenario, Robot A is the only robot in contact with Rung 1. Robot B is the only robot in contact Rung 2. Robot C is the only robot in contact with Rung 3. But, the bumpers of all three robots are above the low goal and only two robots did the lifting.

Reason: Changed to incorporate three scales
