That in mind, a good shooter should be able to make up the thirty points with three in autonomous, and one trip of four. They can make up fifty with the in autonomous, and then three runs back to the feeder. The runs polls lining up is pushing it a little...you could do two runs and a hang but that's slightly more mechanical difficulty.
With lifting you can score 30 pts alone.If you concentrate on shooting instead of hanging, I think it is quite easy to get to the point where you are making all you auton shots in the top basket. Add to this 1 4 frisbee run during the last 30 seconds of a match and you are equal to the pts scored by a lifter.

If you add capabilities to each robot(dumper to lifter and 10pt lift to shooter) it gets a little bit more interesting. The dumper can now score 50 pts just by lifting and dumping + 6pts in auton(50+6=56). However the shooter can score 18pts in auton + 12 pts in the last 30 seconds of a match + 10 pt lift(18+12+10=40). The question is whether the risk of a 3lvl lift is worth the high risk, whether your team has the capability to build a lifter, and whether the extra time spent of lifting could be better utilized by shooting.

For example, an intake(mainly for auton) has a huge benefit to a shooter. It potentially increases the score of a shooter by up to 24 pts(4 frisbees in auton). This game is truly about taking a side based on the capabilities of your team and the risk they are willing to take.
