Or even if you are "stopped", you have succeeded in tying up one opponent defense-bot for the entire match, leaving your other scoring bot wide open or forcing your opponent to devote two bots to defense. The problem with most full-court shooters is that it takes so long to get them dialed in and they still miss so many shots. You can afford to just leave them alone for a while.
