Unfortunately it looks like you actually do need all three robots on the field for a capture though.

Nope, check out Q916:

If an ALLIANCE robot is not on the field at the beginning of a match, and a tower meets the definition of WEAKENED, can two CHALLENGING and/or SCALING robots complete a CAPTURE?
• A. No, a CAPTURE requires all three (3) opponent ROBOTS. It's in an ALLIANCE'S best interest to help ensure all Teams on the ALLIANCE are ready to play in a MATCH, or a CAPTURE cannot be accomplished

And in my earlier post, I did not mean that the bumpers came off of the robot, just that they passed at least partially outside of the dividers for that defense. Obviously, there are other ways this same thing could happen (such as a robot that climbs over a divider for whatever reason), but I was trying to think of things that robot's wouldn't have to be designed specifically to do.
