Without saying anything too revealing... it is theoretically possible to winch 3 robots carried on forks or other drive-on platforms up in the air. Not very fast, but faster than a single robot could score 8 balls.

The main design constraints are the 84 inch cylinder rule, weight, the 500 pound winch, and having room on the robot to accomplish anything else.
