I agree about the full court shooters if you are talking about someone parking in front of them to block. I guess I always saw that as a possibility in my mind when we came up with our strategy since the game seems designed that way. When I can be 84" tall on that side of the field and you only 60", I always saw that as a danger for the full court shot.
Defense can swing points in large ways for every robot out there. For shooters I think it can be just as big a swing as a climber. A climber with a 30 second climb has 1 minute 30 seconds to make one trip if they go for the 50 and for a large chunk of the game they are protected upon fear of 80 points if they are touching the pyramid. 30 points uncontested if you simply decide to climb right from autonomous position. A shooter is getting bashed into everytime it turns around unless it is in contact with a pyramid and even then some people might feel it is worth a foul to mess up your score.
I really do like this game because of all the strategy discussions, even before seeing all the cool mountain climbers like the one in this thread, or the frisbee rifles in other threads.
