2 * 3 Inbounders + 3 * 3 Robots = 15 balls taken out of play from other team.
So, only 3 balls are now in play for the opposing team.
Makes for a pretty low scoring match.

That's like suggesting that last year, people might not put any tubes into play. You'd have to be pretty confident in your end game bonus abilities. Plus, ranking is based partially on score, a team using that strategy, would rank below a team that won just as many matches, but played the intended way.
