Another big advantage to scoring multiple keepers for your alliance is those keepers are addition tubes that you wouldn't have otherwise. If you have 3 good scorers, it is easy to run out of ammo with only 9 human player Ringers.

Not sure thats going to happen because it depends too much on other robots (partners and/or opponents) to score multiple yourself. However, if you had plenty of time to work on coordinating autonomous with partners you might be able to pull something like this off:
You start with a keeper in your gripper and drive forward towards the rack
Your partner (could even be a ramp bot) starts with a keeper in front of them and pushes it straight forward a set distance.
You score the keeper and turn around to locate your partner's keeper using camera (probably better on red keepers), UltraSonic, IR, and/or a positional coordinate system.
You grab their keeper turn around and score again.
Is it difficult? Very, but I think it could be done with enough practice and tweaking.
