Removing this requirement will remove the chances of a weaker 3rd robot losing the alliance 25pts by not being able to make it back to the batter on time, and opens up more strategic flexibility within the last 30s of the match.

These changes would make the game pretty boring to watch. This is one of the few games where a qual alliance that's totally outgunned actually has something to shoot for (and their fans something to root for), and it's because of breach/capture RPs. I think the reasons for keeping the latter have been well covered.
