Setting up that shot will take time, which achieves the goalie's point, to take up your time so that you can't do as many cycles.
Almost impossible, what are you taking about? Unless the goalie is extending outward 20 inches AND the extension is nearly 60 inches tall this shot isn't being blocked. And at this point, we are talking about a hypothetical robot with multiple complex purpose built appendages. This robot doesn't exist. Not that it couldn't, I guess, but it's a huge investment, not trivial.

An extension above 60 inches cannot be there as I believe the 1 point goal is not the goalie zone. Clever, but nope.
