I really want to make a launching robot this year, and a few parts about it that I like that haven't been mentioned...
You could chill in your zone defending your tall stack, and right near the end of the match you could launch one into your oponent"s stack and knock it over (you can defend a stack on the ground, but not in the air)
If you placed your human boxes correctly you could have your robot pick it up and knock down the wall with it before the other robots had even reached the ramp.
You could launch them at the opposing alliances drivers (not G.P., but it"s probably rather hard to compete when crates keep crashing into the plexiglass in front of you)

And an impossible little fantasy that would never happy but would be really cool: If you could stay in your opponent"s scoring zone and launch their crates onto the crates in your zone (making stacks from 20 feet away.)
