Yes, if by utilized you mean that the cans were grabbed and brought to the grabbing alliance's side of the field.
However, in most matches where middle cans were grabbed and 'owned', they were not incrementally scored; i.e., the same score or higher could have been achieved without grabbing the extra can(s).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
