Hopper-Middle DEFENDER/Fuel floor Bot?
I see an opportunity for success here..... This bot could with great VISION and DRIVETRAIN try to own the middle of the field (where team will need to operate mostly blind) .... three hoppers. Possibly as the defend floor pickup and Fuel truck dumps . Place gear in backside auto/climb end...
EDIT: I was unaware guess pegs are on other side (I was thinking davits and pegs below them) ...still good transition defense and majority hopper defense Thoughts? |

Sure, it's a great way to ensure you make it to the Elims! Except for Championship events, the 3rd robot on an alliance frequently plays a defensive role. And, many times robots are relegated to defense because their offensive value is weak. I suspect you'd be a top defensive choice if you could also climb a rope.
The only disadvantage to building defensive robots, in my opinion, is you usually end up getting selected by seeds 6-8. Reason being seeds 6-8 will generally try to choose the best scorer available along with the best defender available to neutralize seeds 1-3. Of course all that goes out the window if you seed in the top 5 ;), but that's usually tough to do when your primary function is not scoring. |

from the manual
3.5 Lifts LIFTS are used to transfer GEARS from the ROBOTS to the PILOTS. One (1) LIFT is mounted to each of the three (3) sides of the deck that face the PLAYER STATIONS. so there are NO lifts facing the middle of the field. |

There are merits to a lot of interesting defensive strategies. Defending teams trying to load from hoppers or from the floor or just passing through. Keeping teams from getting to their preferred scoring pegs, etc |
