Took some time in Sketchup to draw out the field. Added in a few boxes to represent robots of varying heights and used the walkthrough features. The pyramid is only in the way of the left (2 pointer) goal. You've got pretty good line of sight from loading station to the center goal.

Still have to contend with blocking robots but with your wheel in the safe zone, that, warping disks, off side shots and building a shooter than can launch them. Other than that, easy peasy.
