Is it really worth 1/3 of your alliance to sit stationary on the batter for an entire match? Much easier would be to keep the defender off the batter by brute force.
This design, while innovative, would make gameplay completely static and perhaps boring for the driving team. Each match starts in the neutral zone, over a defense once, onto the batter, and just sit the entire match after that. Alternatively, they're as likely to spend the entire match being pushed around by the offensive bots.
