High Goal Vs. Low Goal

To be fair, there will be a sizable amount of high goal scorers that can also score in the low goal. Another thing, what's to say that a feeder bot HAS to be able to score in the low goal? Maybe they have a simple pickup that just releases when they get into the courtyard?

I feel like most people in this thread are overvaluing the low goal, when really, the high goal is where the points are. But really, what it comes down to is what your team wants to accomplish.

If I'm a captain at the World Championship, and I'm a high goal scorer, you better believe I want three more high goal capable robots in case one of the shooters goes down for any reason. In the 2nd/3rd round pick, I would look more for robots that can quickly feed while still having the high goal capability, but I don't want to be restricted to the low goal while [powerhouse team] is draining high goal after high goal, and 2 high goals from them in less than 30 seconds is equivalent to 5 low goals in 1:00-1:15.
