Week 3 districts will have a two cyclers, one low bar, and one for the other defenses, and one defender that helps breach with only the Sally Door/Drawbridge. Just like week 1, these robots will capture and get breach points...
How long do you expect it to take to breach defenses??? If 2/3 robots cross a defense in auto (very likely for a winning alliance), that only leaves 6 defenses to cross for a breach, just 3/robot if robot #3 is dedicated solely to defense. That's only a breach every 40 seconds. VERY doable.

My guess is robot 3 only sees the offensive side of the field during the first and last 30 seconds of a match.

Cheesecake climbers??? Are you joking!?!? Have you seen the level of complexity for cheesecake of past seasons? It's all very simply mechanisms. Climbing is the hardest aspect of this game. You can't just cheesecake that.

Also you're assuming the other alliances can't score 40+ pts in auto.
