I may be a bit bias because my team's robot IS a full court shooter, but it seems as though their is a negative tendency towards full court shooters and that they are a "useless strategy" but I feel that people are too quick to not explore other options in terms of strategy that could benefit them in the long run.
Those people who have negative tendency towards full court shooters need to be more like 1986, 1114, and 2056 and be ready to accept their full court shooting brethren, thus being ready to put them in a situation that can suit the full court shooting robot's unique talents.

Then again, I may also be biased.
