Easy to keep it simple if all the processing is being done by one brain. A little more complex even if one team (two drivers?) has practiced the maneuvers with a single robot for a while. still more complex when doing the balancing with a (random?) alliance partner for the first time. Yep! complexity increases again if the alliance partner is on the other side of the ball corral. Then as if icing on a cake, increase once more if the balancing robots' drivers are on opposite sides of the field.

Good to have the choreography down before the dance begins, eh?

P.S. I probably won't get to elims, so why think about three on a beam?
