You really don't have to. If you have a bot that is able to score reliably enough from the feeder zone (with no D played on you) then you will invite dedicated defense, unless your opponents have a comparable full court shooter to keep up with yours. If they play D, then you maneuver until you can get a good shot (significantly reducing your scoring frequency and/or accuracy) but you still have tied up an opponent bot that is doing nothing but sticking near you and not scoring himself. If that bot wants to climb and abandon defense, and you continue to shoot, you will likely outscore the climber with an accurate full court shooter, assuming you still have a disc supply (not an unreasonable assumption.)
