A big part of the value of fourth robots is being able to tailor your alliance on the field to respond to the opponent. Anything forcing an alliance to play a particular lineup at any point severely reduces this advantage.
I say this coming from an alliance on Archimedes that never played our second pick. There should be no rules to prevent an alliance from playing the lineup they believe gives them the best chance of winning.
