I think you're forgetting the fact that there are three robots on an alliance. The game can't support three awesome shooters, just like last year. I know if we are fortunate enough to seed first in our regionals, and there is a RELIABLE 30 point climber that can play defense and (maybe) dump discs in the lowest goal, that they would be our first pick. Who would you pick? A robot who can climb AND drive around to play defense, or a robot who can just drive around?
Just a note to people designing 30 point climbers and plan to dumb in the low goal. Make it a priority to pick those discs up off of the floor. There are going to lots of discs on the floor from when (yes... when) the powerful shooting teams miss their shots. It's also a very good strategy to rob discs from the opposite side to disable an opponent who can pick up off of the floor. Trips back and forth from the feeding station are going to KILL your efficiency (think 2011) so they'll also kill your opponent's efficiency.
