I think in elims people realize that the time spent for two or three robots to coordinate a Class C defense crossing, is better spent having those robots line up an extra few goals instead. There are generally enough low bar robots that the breach can always be obtained even while ignoring the Class C defenses.

I agree with this assessment. The class C defenses typically take a lot of time relative to the amount of point that can be attained. If a bot can't do it solo, it is not efficient to have two bots tied up to get 5 points.
