Actually, hooking your robots together is an interesting idea. We've had mobile goals in the past that you had to pull to an end zone. Maybe we're supposed to make robots that can link together to pull the goals. In reference to the fish clue, it would be a "longline" of robots.
I'm picturing a large goal, placed in the center of the field on a big sheet of HDPE "ice". Your robots will link up so that when one robot is touching the goal it is completely on the ice and the linked robot is on the carpet. The third robot can collect balls to place in the goal, help pull, or go bother the other team to prevent them from scoring or pulling.
