Possible strategy for early weeks

I see balancing on this bridge in early qualifications isn't very popular, so I came up with a viable strategy to use this.

Essentially, after evaluating your opponent's abilities to get on the bridge, you decided if they can balance or not. If not, then after autonomous mode, two of the weaker scorers on your team go to the blue bridge and balance (maybe after 30 seconds to a minute). The other robot scores balls the whole match.

With the low balance rate I've seen, the average match scores, and the points of one decent scoring robot coupled with two robots balanced, the combined score should be enough to win the match.

Example math:

One good scoring robot: +8 points (an average)
Two robots on your bridge: +20 points

At total of 28 points, which is higher than many scores I've seen.

What do you think?
