I agree completely and pretty much predicted this exact scenario back in the first week Aerial Assist and Ill Will thread:

While good teams can really cooperate and do well together, it almost always excludes at least one team (the third alliance picked member) to having to play defense. If you are lucky the third person can "herd" the ball long enough to get an assist. (Don't get me started on how possession rules are totally not consistent, a single hit won't count as an assist, but it will be enough for a penalty)
A single game piece is just not a good idea for FIRST games. Kids want to play, want to use their robot. It is not inspiring to play bumper cars.
