We actually did that in a match at Nats this year. I can't remember who was in it, but we were with a goal bot and against two hybrids (I think). We started the match, moved two inches, and then stopped. The drive team looked puzzled, then dejected, and all the while, we were waiting for the other teams to fill their goals while our partner grabbed one goal. When the other alliance had filled one goal, we took off, grabbed one of their goals, grabbed the goal from our partner, sent our partner and our tether back, and won the match. It worked OK, but I don't know if I'd try it again.
