Any robot that can climb to the third level will be picked before any one elimination alliance can get three. It is more likely that three will be paired randomly.
Also, more teams than expected will climb from the inside of the pyramid, so not all can fit.

Exactly what I was thinking. 30 pt climbers will be in high demand at eliminations, and Im almost positive no regional will have 30 point climbers in the 3rd round.
Therefore, the only place it could happen is in a qualifier. Low odds are better that zero.
With the high volume of really good robots that go to MAR every year as a result of the district model, Im almost certain it'll happen there. Probably at Michigan too (Though Im not that familiar with it.)
