Scores go up. Discuss.

What is the third robot doing in this situation? If there is a good defender against the high goal shooter who can do something with the boulders that the feeder bot brings, it would cause the shooter to go chasing boulders down instead of shoot, load, rinse and repeat.

EDIT: Third bot could draw the defender's attention away from the shooter and allow it to do its thing, or remain undefended and make up for the lost cycle time. If the third bot is playing defense, I feel this strategy would get shut down pretty quickly.
