What would a robot look like that could lift and carry several 10-pound barbells under a 24-inch bridge, but still be able to lift them onto an 8-foot-high scoring cage?

Medicine balls would be perfect.

Another cool game element would be a marry-go-round, or spinning platform.
(imagine this without handle bars)
Robots would have to cross this powered hazard to score or to reach the other side of the field. This would be particularly spectacular if next year's game involved balls. Imagine the chaos of balls being spun off of the field!
