I mean, if you have ever heard of one team completely giving a robot to another team for use in elimination matches I'd love to see it. Because it really seems like you want this to be either 0 or 100.
Having been on a team whose strategy was to build a complete robot around a specific role to make ourselves an attractive alliance pick, it hits close to home.
Back in 2004, my team created a robot solely around hanging on and defending the bar. With today's teams, I have no doubt that an elite team today could design a mechanism to install on a 3rd bot that could mimic our robot's ability to move on the bar; installing this singular ability would make the least competitive team a perfect fit to the most competitive team.
