This is not unheard of. We did it more than once at FLR, though the off-rotation robot rarely strayed past midfield. (Not so hot on active defense then, but average scoring tempo was slower.)
I consider it a trade-off in scoring speed. If 1-2 or even 3 robots are slow enough at pickup (even with a feeder bot), your coaches are really in tune, and/or you're playing tube-scarce, it may well work. If you've got faster scorers and/or need to play defense, 2's
usually the way to go. There's also the "feed us, but score if you get a shot" method, which was what we usually did if coaches were in tune enough to stay out of each other's way.
I don't expect to see many 3-offense alliances, at least not that play that way the whole match. There certainly are some, though, and we might see a few victorious underdogs yet with it. All I'll recommend is: communicate with your coaches.
