We identified a similar strategy with a low robot that can cross under the bar. It might be easy to block its shots, but there's a good chance nobody will bother to play defense. Using a tall robot would be much harder to defend.

It seems legal (at the moment!) to hold open the low bar's Cordura flap while in a shooting position. The robot doesn't even have to move between shots. It can be fed from the human player station or with passes from a robot in the neutral zone. I really hope this strategy is clearly ruled out because it seems against the spirit of all the crossing and outer works rules.
