I look at it this way. In 2012 there were very few robots that would consistently score a basket every time they fired. That was acceptable, however, because you had 3 balls to shoot. This year, instead of having 3 balls, you get one chance. The target is much smaller proportionally than the 2012 hoop.
Statistically, I believe that for most teams it will be more efficient to shoot up close and make a higher percentage of their shots. But that can be defended and will be much slower than shooting from just inside the works.
I think the exceptions to that rule will be few elite robots that can consistently hit 90% of their shots from the protected area.
Perhaps you're having more luck shooting accurately than we are

If so, then I would think it would be a lot more considering no legal defense.
