I agree. Although I won't say you control 'all' of the balls (and believe that you need one robot scoring the whole time, otherwise all of the balls will be sitting in your side of the field/being shot back at you by the defender), the concept is the same.
Being able to have a good degree of control over the middle, because you can both score and get the ball to your side, assuming you miss, will make for an excellent robot. However, if two robots designed for the center are on a single alliance, then you're screwed.
I say specialize robots for hybrids; make it work very well in two sections, and functional in the third, because being paired up with 2 alliances that excel identically is rare.
