First of all, I shall assume that B and C have equal balancing abilities. In this case, I think B should be on the stretcher. Also assuming that C can pull the stretcher (because it can tow goals) here goes:

First, A takes a dead sprint under the bar and graba a big ball. C grabs the stretcher (with B on it) and goes over the bridge. D pushes the goal to the alliance station where it is to be filled up (15 balls can fit in one goal, we tried it).

The time it takes for C to grab onto the stretcher and go over the bridge SHOULD be enough for A to go under and grab a big ball. A should then head back over the bridge and put the big ball on the near goal. While all this is going on, D should be heading under the bar to hang out by the bridge.

C should then drop-off B in the endzone and place a big ball on the far goal. The time it takes C to do this SHOULD be enough for A to drop off the ball and come back over the bridge. C then grabs the goal, goes over the bridge, grabs the other goal and balances with the help of D who is (by now) on the far side of the field. D then heads for endzone.

This limits the amount of balance time over all. With this strategy, you are guaranteed:

10+10+10+10+10+10+15=75
75*4=300
I doubt that ALL of this can be done in under 1:30 (although it IS possible). Under 1:45 sounds feasible though, which would result in a score of:
300*1.5= 450

IF by chance this alliance IS able to do this in under 1:30, then:
300*2=600

Just my personal thoughts...
