It would be a very strong robot indeed that could do a 15 second game cycle scoring boulders through the worst four of seven defenses in arbitrary locations on the field looking out through their own outer defenses, even against minimal active defense. Will there be any? Probably; this is certainly within the Cheezy Poofs, Simbotics, or RoboWranglers' capabilities, and perhaps a dozen others. Will there be many? Probably not. Our primary goal is to be able to score either QP solo (edit: except, of course, for alliance partners getting onto the batter), while helping towards the other, and being able to rack up boulders once the OP is breached. We also expect to have a high percentage high goal shot; we have used cameras to do the equivalent of this twice already. These attributes will probably be enough to be an alliance captain or easy first round pick at a regional.
