In all honesty, I really doubt this. If descoring weren't allowed, it could nicely tie up all of the balls faster than other goals, but low goal spitters could potentially just have whatever they tried to score immediately taken away by the opponent, essentially handing them point opportunities.
I think it's about as viable as a pure defense robot in Lunacy; can work at regionals with strong partners, won't at the Championship.
