In my opinion, no short (<30") robot can strategically considered a full court shooter because they can be blocked so easily.
No, they can be but they just have to be opportunistic. If they get there and load up and are unblocked, then take the shots from there and reload; but if you get a face full of robot, then bolt out(which most likely would catch the defender off guard and they would probably not be able to react fast enough to avoid the penalty) and bolt for your pyramid. Then you could either look for more ground discs or go back to the corner and repeat the process. Unless that <30" full-court shooter cannot floor load, then they just have to be opportunistic and a defacto-defense robot.
