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.
1. It would not be hard to defend that corner loader and stop them from scoring/passing discs.

2. This would, then, make that corner only/full-court only shooter pretty much a defender because he cannot do anything else

3. Where are you getting 40% is 18 discs?
