I think it's inaccurate to say that a low goal "roll" has the same margin of error as a high goal shot. For once thing, the effective distance you will be propelling the ball cannot be as large as the distance for a shot. You also have the added complexity of a shooter vs a roller which, in most cases, will add inaccuracy.

Since these are two static spots on the field, and (unlike 2014) the spots are relatively close to each other, I bet a good defender can easily and completely shut down a good low-goal-only fast-cycler bot.

I would say the same is true for a high goal shooter. All a defender needs to do is stay in front of the shooter assuming they are tall enough) to block shots. No pushing or shoving is needed, just the same good driving that is needed to block a low goal.
