Sounds great if you can figure out how to arrange to have one of each type in all your alliances during the Qualifying matches. 
You might want to avoid specializing too much, so that you can have both a good robot and a good seeding score and/or win/loss record at the end of the quals (I haven't digested all of this new seeding stuff yet).
