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?

Well from what I saw if the third robot that is not on the bridge is capable of scoring they are usually scoring. However if they are not capable of scoring then their isn't really much for them to do besides play defense if the opposing alliance is scoring. If the third robots from both alliances can't score I would much rather have them sit there instead of meaninglessly drive around with the potential of getting penalties or unbalancing bridges.
