I'd rather pick an otherwise good robot (e.g. auto scoring, smart drive team, good reliable drivetrain, other strong defense tactics*) and put a 84" pole/net on top if we need it. Bonus if we can slap on a cylinder/steal a solenoid and make it go <=60" to 84". It's easier to get taller than shorter. Keep your CG low and be ready to become a 'wall' if need be, but I'm not sure why to make a big deal out of the ability.
That said, can you full court shooter get over an 84" tall defender if one of your (short) allies sits between you two? Depending on how high you shoot from, rising 24" over a span of 36-54" shouldn't be too bad. If you're accurate enough, you'd probably still score more than the two of you would individually otherwise.
*Climbing might be a trade-off with the pole.
