Less accurate for sure, but even if you're only making 50% of your shots, that's an un-blockable flightpath if the angles work out like drawn. If you can take each shot in under 2 seconds, 45 shots takes less than 90 seconds. At 50% accuracy it still ends up with 66 points in the high goal, and the rest of the missed shots are there for alliance partners to pick up (if they have a ground pickup). 30 seconds to do a level 2 or 3 climb, and you've added at least 20 points to that. It could be a minimum 86pt strategy. That might not be the highest scoring robot in the competition, but it'd be a heck of an alliance partner to someone with fast ground pickup and an accurate shooter.
Plus if you can get a level 3 climb mechanism and dunk in those 30 seconds, now you're talking 66+50 = 116 pts by yourself. Not too shabby!
