Most teams won't build that robot though. Most will try to build a mechanism for intaking and shooting balls. Unfortunately, most of these won't work (if if they work, not well), and these teams still will want to try out their mechanisms in the match.

If the teams that should build a box on wheels all build a box on wheels, this wouldn't be an issue.
