3rd robots

In most every match I've seen today, whenever teams go to balance, 2 robots get on the bridge, and the 3rd robot.....stays there. Or drives around, and doesn't do anything. I've seen times when there are 4 robots on bridges, and the 3rd robots of each team do nothing, for anywhere from 30 seconds to almost a whole minute. 3RD ROBOT! Y U NO DO SOMETHING???? In many matches I've seen, if the robot not balancing would have made a few points, the alliance would have won. There is almost no opponents on the field. You have for sure 15 balls to yourself (3 for another robot that's not balancing to hold), and the hoops are open. Why don't you take that opportunity to make some points?

So why are teams letting their 3rd robot sit for the whole end of the match?
