From what I can gather there were 3 major things to do: hanging, collecting and depositing 5pt balls, capping goals. I think given a 3 robot alliance, all three roles could be done without any one robot having to do more than one task. Plus the fight for a spot on the hanging bar could be more fierce with 6 bots.
That's exactly why I wouldn't want 2004 rebooted in 3v3. Teams doing multiple, diverse tasks in the same game was one of the best elements of 2004. I loved seeing the ridiculous ways teams like 71 and 190 figured out how to cap while hanging or the awesome multi-purpose drive mechanisms. Having more tasks than robots to fill them was what made that game so special.
