This is actually a pretty good idea.

My hypothetical situation was based on a Qualification match, so I just assumed that the two powerhouses were playing against an alliance of two "normal" teams.

But, in your elimination strategy, defense actually makes sense. You can play defense right around the gap in the towers, and at no time are you ever really that far from the towers. At 20 seconds or so, you get into position for the end game and then once the towers go live you deploy and win.

Shoot, you still have your 3rd robot too, they could put up tubes the whole time or something.
