Our robot (Viking I) was an fantastic stretcher bot.
During a qualifying match, at Disney, we pulled a fully loaded stretcher across the bridge (major traction), crossed over to a big ball, did a 180, deposited the stretcher in the endzone and than placed the ball on the goal. It was totally awesome!!! It would have been a high scoring match if one of our alliance robots hadn't fallen on the bridge
But my real feelings are that the use of the stretcher is a sucker bet. Not only do you have the bot on the stretcher, but you have to have another bot tow it around. I didn't see any stretcher bots doing anything other getting a free ride to the endzone.
