If the captain and first pick are capable of breaching - and they generally are - then I would suggest that the "3 defenses for 15" is not a contribution that is needed from the second pick robot. The other two robots can cross on their cycles.
In the scenario above, I think the mid-game contribution would be closer to 7.5 rather than 23 - the other points are redundant.
