I fully agree with the drive train part, but we must remember that the first M in MCC stands for minimum. Something designed with goal 1 being 'get picked'. For this reason, I don't think a shooter should even be considered. MCC, for me at least, is something potentially simpler than 4334 was (they we're simple, but I think MCC could be simpler). IMO, the best thing you could do is design a robot that will never be on your side of the field. It should be easier to sell a good defensive not than mediocre offensive one as a second pick to an alliance captain.
