I think given a 3 robot alliance, all three roles could be done without any one robot having to do more than one task. Plus the fight for a spot on the hanging bar could be more fierce with 6 bots.

That's exactly why I wouldn't want 2004 rebooted in 3v3. Teams doing multiple, diverse tasks in the same game was one of the best elements of 2004. I loved seeing the ridiculous ways teams like
71 and
190 figured out how to cap while hanging or the
awesome multi-purpose drive mechanisms. Having more tasks than robots to fill them was what made that game so special.
one wrong move and you could end up capping one of the judges. that will pretty much ruin your chance at judges' award - Mike Ciance [more]
