Thirding the "I haven't seen it"--multiple years at West Coast events. This year is the first time I've seen it--at maybe a couple of webcasts.

I think it adds to the excitement to know that if that triple balance holds up, it's a win, but if one robot goes sprawling, it's over for that alliance. Adds suspense in a way that not knowing the score can never, ever do. (It also adds pressure on the drive coaches... but that's part of their job.)
