But you have to be fast enough to do it. I expect most elimination alliances will have 3 robots shooting for the high goal, and one of them with a 5 or 7 disc auto. This means, in general, one of the "wing" robots will have to shoot their 3 discs off and then beat their opponent to the center. If you mis-judge the distance and cross over the centerline, overshoot and hit them it's an instant Tech Foul (which is worth almost double what those two extra discs would have been).
I agree it's possible, and teams will attempt it (and some will be successful), but it's not quite as easy as a "drive backwards and hit them" type deal.
