Unless you can push them away from the low goal (not easy with them tucked in a corner) & score while holding them away, then you have only two options:
1) Win the race with them to the other low goal (assuming no other 2nd bot defender there already)
2) Score in the the high goal.
So, at least until there is rule clarification on whether this way of defending the low goal will be considered legal, it becomes a priority for every match alliance to have at least one member that is a fairly accurate high goal scorer.

Robot B and C come down to the low goal that this defender chooses to defend. B parks in the goaley lane by the defender. C proceeds to score any way it wants at the other goal.
