We talked about this a lot on the drive back from Manchester. Another approach is for each robot to have a bar on top that is a handle allowing it to be lifted from above. I wondered if the kit bot that was shown at kickoff which had this type of bar was a hint. The advantage is that it would be easy for any robot to have the handle and not need a lifting mechanism. Even a simple goalie robot could be lifted if they can get to the hanger. The lifters on the other hand would need additional functionality.
