What czig said, plus one more wingman duty. Keeping other bots from harrassing or scoring upon the ally you are escorting.
You could also try to simply sweep up and hold rocks so that they become scarce (probably tough to gather that many...), and then disgorge them only for your allies, or your allied payload specialists (easier than hitting a trailer).
You could reliably carry balls from the mission outpost to the payload specialist.
You could ask a nearby team to lend you some talent for a few days to help you quickly implement whatever you choose as your goal.

Or, you let the opoosing alliances score so many points that they are handicapped (fewer cells) in future matches. Their future opponents might thank you.
