One robot moves balls from the midzone to the alliance zone, and a second moves balls of the alliance zone to the goal. It's that simple.

Why you would need extra robots in a zone is, currently, beyond me.
My team overall is thinking the same thing. And, while for the most part I agree with you, the key to these games is that it is not a system. There are many factors that can alter gameplay entirely. Perhaps your "defense" bot gets a dead battery and becomes useless, or it so happens that the other team is so good at ball control that you don't have any balls on your side anyway, and so your "offense" bot may want to cross to a new section and help either get more balls or begin the hanging. I do agree with you though for the most part.
