Without knowing some parameters about your robot such as time to cross defense, time to cycle a ball and average accuracy of shot, as well as height of robot and several other parameters, it's impossible to determine your team's role in an alliance.

If you have a 100% accuracy shooter and are able to cross all 9 defenses, but take large amounts of time crossing some of them, you may want to consider a strategy where you move as little as possible.

If your shooter is lower accuracy, but you are confident in your 9 defense-breaching ability, you may want to consider a strategy where you are your team's main breacher, freeing the alliance up to contribute points in other ways, or optimize your breaching to fit your alliance's weaknesses.

I would be happy to help you develop a basic match strategy if you want to discuss your robot's capabilities and role at competition, just send me a PM.
