Depending on the robot's exact configuration, Full Court Shooting is a viable and extremely effective strategy. In our last district event we were lucky enough to partner with 225 and their FCS. They were devastatingly accurate shooting into the 2pt goal and that combined with their high exit point (~50" or so) made them really, really tough to effectively defend. Most wall bots that were built on the fly to counter their shooter weren't all that effective.
That being said, if you've got a low FCS, say under 48" tall or so, odds are, someone will be able to block the better part of your shots. Though, it's worth noting, that the difference between a shot clearing a blocker and not is usually a matter of a few inches....
