It simply takes too long.

Robot C then needs to possess the ball and deliver it back to Robot A. Robot A also has to wait around for the B --> C exchange and can't play defense in the Red Zone, which means they also aren't there to pick up the new ball as soon as it comes into play.

Instead, you could keep Robot A in the Red Zone playing defense while Robot C brings the ball to the Low Goal (instead of to Robot A). Robot A plays defense instead of driving back and forth, picking up the ball, and lining up for a shot.

The only time I'd say the high goal is better is if there is heavy defense on both Low Goals.
