I think it's interesting that you bring this up, because I had a feeling the game would progress exactly the opposite of how you described. At low-to-medium levels of play, I expect to see no robot that can solo a breach and a capture in the same match. At higher levels, even, I predict that no more than 3 teams will do this in the first 4 weeks of competition. As a result, I think it will be much more likely to see alliances that have one robot breach and one robot capture at early events, and at lower levels of play. However, as the game gets more advanced, and fields get deeper, I expect to see alliances with three robots all capable of contributing high goal shots and defense crosses. Utilizing all three of these robots most efficiently could entail many things, based on their relative strengths and weaknesses. However, in the case of an alliance with three hybrid scorers, I expect them to all contribute to both objectives.
