Honestly, I see this as a dangerous mindset, and me having that mindset was probably one of the reasons my team wasn't picked at DCMP in 2015 (that and just not melding well with any of the alliances as their 3rd robot).
I think that advertising yourself can become important when small or new teams are in the top 8 - teams that can't/don't/won't have scouting info. but generally it's just awkward for all parties involved (since they've either already put you in a pick order, or in a do not pick list). It can be worth asking high ranked teams what they're looking for in a 3rd robot, and then show off that capability in one of your matches.
