A defensive bot will be effective this year no matter if another bot is taller. If a bot is in the key, I don't know how many teams would confidently put a shooting mechanism on an arm. This means that if the ball has to be lower than 60 inches, it will not matter, and of they try to put it into the basket, a defensive bot should be able to push the opponent away.

For a general scoring strategy, I was thinking of using a similar strategy to ours last year, using an encoder to put our shooter into a position so if the strength is set to a certain limit, it would hit the same spot and the have the same outcome each time. Doing this right at the hoops, will almost always give the desired results.
