I agree with our strategy and it may be something that we do. As we breach defenses, we'll possibly carry a boulder over; and if the situation is safe (the opposing alliance can't steal our boulder), we can drop it for an accurate high shooter. We could also just go from the secret passage, through the low bar, and drop for a teamate. This would help decrease cycle times for high shooters and utilize more points. Of course, our robot could also do defense. Defense is a necessity, but strategies may exist without them. How functional they will be I'm unsure of, but with proper execution, any strategy can be a threat.
