I think a "bending arm" would accomplish the task better because it has more ranges of movement vs. a forklift. Forklifts simply move up and down. Although simple is sometimes good, this year I think the more complex arm designs will win.
A "bending arm" also allows the robot to stack tetras on a goal at a greater distance than forklift, due to the fact that forklifts have to be under the goal and be perfectly aligned the properly stack a tetra.
As far as CG is concerned, simply change where you mount your arm in relation to the robot.
