You're still shooting too high (literally) and missing the point of this exercise. Robots with less capability than your "pick three of these" specifications have seeded high or been selected high and won events this year. There's zero way a high goal shooter is a needed component of a "minimum competitive concept". You generally need to do far less than you think to be a competitive robot, and the point of this exercise is to figure out what specific tasks you have to do to meet this criteria with little effort or machining.
