Hanging vs. Manipulating 2x balls

Say you can pick one of the above - your robot will be able to either hang from the bar or be able to place the 2x multipliers on a container. (As much as I'd like both, I think that it would be both impracticle given the time limit, and impossible due to the weight constaints.) Which would you pick? I myself would go with a 2x ball manipulator, as it has the higher potentional for total points (if you have 11 balls or more in one container, you would get more points for having it capped than you would for leaving it uncapped and hanging). I realize that if you dont get many balls, or have a really bad human player, you won't get many points for capping, so I can see some reason in just taking a flat 50. I wanted the opinions of others, though.
