Your third robot comes into play more than you think.
I was doing some math earlier, and there may be a point where if you have enough balls controlled, and you have enough of a lead, you may want to stop scoring balls, because it can be mathematically impossible for your opponents to out score you.

However, this appears to be a niche case, because if you have that much of a lead, you're likely to win regardless of what you do at that point.
