Sticking to the issue of a particular bot that would move [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] to [[Wikipedia:Sandbox/Trash]], and tag is for speedy deletion, or if we really want to maintain it, move it to numbered or dated archives, and then create a new page, we don't need it to have a sysop bit. The one extra speedy a day is well within the administrators work capacity.
Note that the sandbox is move-protected, and has been so for a very long time. Not that that can't be questioned, but it's something to consider, since if it remains the status quo any bot would need sysop in order to be able to move it (and presumably move-protect the new one each day).
