I completely disagree. If you have 1 robot completely dedicated to emptying out the human feeder station, and a second robot cleaning off the floor on the other side, there is no need for the feeder station robot to even move. It is protected by the feeder loading zone, so opponents cant touch it. And the floor feeder on the other side would be picking up the rebounds for it.
Even if a cross-court shooter hits 40% (which is OK at best), that's 18 discs, as opposed to the 16 from 4 trips. PLUS, all the other discs are now on the other side of the field, conveniently located for the floor feeder to score. No cross-court sprint necessary.
A cross-court shooter ONLY needs to run its autonomous mode, and then B-line to the feeder station to transfer all discs to the scoring goals/floor feeder.
