I think a interesting and very related question will be; which way will robots be able to help their alliance's score differential the most? If some of the best shooters in a competition can be blocked, you will probably see some mid to low level robots repeat history as a vital piece of a winning alliance.
The answer will depend on what type of meta game emerges.

Very true and I really like that you brought this up. Maybe the 10% of robots not going under the low bar will be very useful in blocking low robots that try to shoot high goals.
