IMHO, I think you are quite mistaken. True, there are bots that will be able to do all of that, but the games are designed with 2 sets of teams in mind... this year its the bot lifters, and the tube placers.
Looking back to last year, my team tried to do everything... pick up off the ground, load from the top, shoot, sit down, and dump. It ended up that we failed miserably at shooting, and we weren't worth our weight in salt because of our limited abilities. Finally, when we specialized as a dumper, we were ranked high at our regional, and were picked at nats. Notice that the winning bot, 25, only loaded from the top and shot.
Bits of advice (I know many people have said this before):
Design yourself to be the most attractive alliance partner you possibly can be. Do one thing better than everyone else, and establish yourself as the best of that one thing. Trust me, it works.
