While I agree that only 1 robot need do the balancing, It is a coordinated effort to know WHICH robot needs to do it, and where the other 2 position themselves to make it easier.

Also, the teams are going to have to trust one another, because if it's done wrong a robot can fall from 2' (and probably not land on its wheels)
