The best strategy that I've come up with in my head (for an all out scorer robot) is a launcher. I think select few really amazing teams will realize that if you launch the ball with enough backspin and at the proper trajectory, it could bounce once and then land back in your robot as you drive under it. Do this consistently, and you could concieveably run 10 second laps with a hurdle every time around.
