Do you know if there is a speed requirement? If not, then I'm sure it would be possible for a rig letting you move around slowly without taking up much room, and the point of having a self-descorer would be to counteract the effect of that Payload Specialist, if I can make an arm that takes out my balls every second, I would think that I can take more balls out of my trailer, than any but the most spot on accurate payload specialist can put in my trailer. Also, they would be focused on me, meaning that the other team has effectively one Specialist for both of my Ally's. I'm not going to advocate this strategy however, just thinking that it is feasible, if you don't mind being a spoil sport.
