Your best scoring ramp/lifting bot should stay on your end to either place ringers or defend the defender sent over to block your second scorer if they send one over.
I guess the opposing alliance is off taking a coffee break while all this scoring awesomeness is going on?

If an alliance leaves 3 scorers alone, the scorers may be able to do what you suggested.......and the crowd falls asleep. If they instead decide to step away from their tea and crumpets and engage the scoring alliance directly, well then it gets beautifully-ugly, and that's when the fun begins.
