Team A disables themselves and turns on robot C who works with B and both fill the goals with balls.

Sick and twisted... ...how about this wrinkle: Alliance B can somehow influence which robot on Alliance A is disabled (and vice versa). I don't know what it would be that alliances would have to do to toggle the disabled button on the other alliance, but it DOES open up possibilities.
Think about it: Maybe if you knock off the ball during autonomous, you get the right to disable one robot from the competing alliance at some point during the competition for 10 seconds. Maybe if you cap a goal you get to "unfreeze" one of your partners (and freeze yourself or the 3rd alliance partner).
I don't know if it is good idea, but it sure is different.
