That would require the other two robots to have mechanisms that do not conflict with that space while achieving their climbs. Attempts to put multiple robots in the 30 point zone also put each robot at risk of being knocked off by an alliance partner.
I can see this causing issues in qualifications if you somehow end up with multiple 30-point inside climbers on the same alliance. During elims however, you could remedy this by going with an outside climber (or two, or three) and (maybe) an inside climber. My team is planning on going up the outside to avoid conflict with other robots. I'm sure we will see the 3-robot 30-point climb at some point this year.
