So, one possible strategy would be to play 2F-1B (2 forward, 1 back). The job of the F players is to scoop up balls and put them in the goals. These would be the primary point scorers. B's primary responsibility is to play defense by preventing ball starvation of the F's. B's secondary responsibility would be to avoid committing penalties. Given the many ways to commit fouls when on the defensive side of the field, this may be fairly difficult to do. Sort of like walking in a minefield.
A B robot could be made exactly like those from the 2010 game and be pretty effective. Of course, the ability to score from the defensive side of the field would be even better. But, even shooting and missing gets the B's job done.
