I'd take a good look at the robots attempting the balance. If they haven't done it before, or aren't very successful/have a high CG, there's one great trick that will always work: Leaving them alone.

Most teams who get the triple balance do so because they practice it, or have a real good mechanism. Most teams don't get it on their first try if they don't have a mechanism for doing so.

All you need to do is sit back and watch the carnage.


Though IMO, if you can't mirror with a triple balance, you shouldn't try and disrupt their balance. The risk os too heavy, and the extra bot can be doing something good for your team (like scoring).
