Unless you want 2/3rds of your alliance at least partially dedicated to defense you can't effectively cover both the FCA and receiving robot.
Also if you are covering the FCA it will come down to driver/drivetrain skill of the FCA and defensive robot. Like almost every strategy in this game it will come down to robot v. robot in an open field. The key is limiting potential for error and inefficiency.
One robot in each zone, then you would have two partners for stopping, say the defensive bot controls the feeding zone for their alliance, their two shooters help eachother as well as the defensive bot. but needless to say other robots could still defend catching, and if a robot is fast enough ( a good defensive bot will be), than they could catch up and stop the shooter before they either get it or try to shoot?
