despite this fact, a low goal scorer's speed and agility could compliment a high goal scorer.
What do you mean "despite this fact"??? Two low goal bots is a completly different kettle of fish than one low and one high.

I suggest that little info in your description of the max score of two low-goalers has any bearing on the subject of an alliance of a low bot and a high bot.

Plus, why don't you entertain the thought that low-goal bots can also hang from the top or side of the bar?

I don't have a dog in this fight; but I also don't want to see low-goal teams dis'ed because of a misconception that they can contribute little to an alliance's score....

PS: It's a quibble, but it is possible to stack balls in the low goals.
