So because now there are "limited" forms of defensive strategy available everyone knows that FIRST wants an entertaining high scoring game this year. Awesome all for it however as a strategist it disappoints me that an option has been taken away from me. I feel that with that rule still being available kept teams from overly committing offensive manueves and kept them honest in their strategy. This year yes defense is alive but its not going to be as dominating as in the past.

I think it was Lincon who said "You can please some people sometimes but you can't please everybody all the time." Just accecpt what the rules are because no matter how much first cahnges the some people will say. "Why can't you drop off the bar onto another robot who is trying to get up to the bar on purpose??" so give first some slack they are trying as best they can to make the game as fun as they can.

Thank you tkwetzel for the correction, I did mean "FIRST never ceases to amaze me".

I totally agree with that, that is almost exactly what I wanted to say.
