Even that would be a time crunch.

I don't think that three-ball strategy would be possible for almost all robots, as it would require multiple precise turns to intake the different balls and score (unless you have a
two-sided intake 
), which would be nearly impossible without going under the low bar, and even then it would be difficult. I almost think that two midline balls would be easier to intake and score for most teams than that. The sheer amount of variability and the amount of work to program that routine would not be worth the extra 10 points compared to a two-ball. In some matches, your alliance partners may even be able to score one ball, easily making up the difference.
