Stopping a Triple Balance

You are correct.

Not quite.

I'm assuming that you are talking about double/triple balancing (if it was singular, then yes, the robot does not necessarily need high traction). From what I've seen in balancing, it usually comes down to the robots on either end. If you're pushing up two robots with something like mecanum, then what will you do when the bridge tips over to the other side? Back up slowly and risk tipping over the robot on the other end of the bridge (which I've seen was extremely likely) and lose the triple balance?
