With only two bots that puts cycle times in into the danger zone to do 16-18 plays with 16 single actions that take 8.43 seconds average for one bot to complete 16.43 seconds for two bots 25.31 seconds for three bots working together.

16.43 average cycle is asking a lot of two bots to either cross a defense twice -or obtain a single boulder (perhaps from opponents castle location to your secret passage) and successfully deliver a boulder accurately to weaken the opponents castle again. OF course if every bot every time crossed and shot it would be more doable but still very difficult to ensure it happens every time with one bot let alone all three bots.

Also consider last 20 seconds is endgame time not a lot of scoring going on as teams are scrambling to get on batter and climb.

Its the same as 2014 just different, more to do and no obvious multiplier action, more single actions that all take time and I think a well coordinated team of 3 beats 2 and a defender...we'll see.
A defensive robot can steal 1 ball and score it to the low goal when coming in the last 20 secs, so it leaves the 2 other robots to score 7 balls, a defnsive robot can cross 1 defense in auto and then when he comes in the last 20 seconds he can cross it again and destroy it, that leaves the other 2 robots to cross twice 3 more defenses, lets say that each can cross 1 time in auto and only 1 robot can score the ball in auto. now you have 2 robots that need to cross defenses 4 times and score 6 balls, lets give them 15 seconds to capture, that leaves them with 2 mins to do 10 tasks, 5 tasks per robot, 24 secs for each task, not so hard when no one plays defence on you and you have enough place to manipulate.
