In soccer, humans dont attempt midfield shots because a goalie is blocking one goal, and the probability of scoring is low to none.
You have two goals in this game with 1 opposing robot.
If two dominating scorers can score with a great degree of accuracy from midfield, which one do you defend?
This strategy isnt foolproof nor will we see it regulary at regionals. But, wait to you get to CMP.

And if for some reason you dont make a shot, plan B takes into effect where a possible near shooter attempts shots.
There's a reason why you have chains and memory foam as part of the goal.
