Thus each time the opposing alliance scores they have to drive all the way across the court to get the ball again.
Balance for bonus points and the win assuming your opponents cant.

I think the better strategy is
robot control if a good defensive robot is able to keep the opposing team on their side of the bumper, while picking up balls rom the key and shooting them back at their alliance, their alliance members will be free to pick up the balls from the opponent's key, and score again, creating and endless loop of scoring and restoring. Now 3v1 would be hard on the defending robot, so maybe 1 big scorer that does the repetitive scoring and 2 defensive robots. Once you get over the bump/bridge, it becomes easier to stop others from doing it. Plus, you can practice ball starvation that way.
