If the opponent is dedicating two robots to defend your one, you should have the edge in the match.

In soccer, humans dont attempt midfield shots because a goalie is blocking one goal, and the probability of scoring is low to none.
You have two goals in this game with 1 opposing robot.
If two dominating scorers can score with a great degree of accuracy from midfield, which one do you defend?
This strategy isnt foolproof nor will we see it regulary at regionals. But, wait to you get to CMP.

And if for some reason you dont make a shot, plan B takes into effect where a possible near shooter attempts shots.
There's a reason why you have chains and memory foam as part of the goal.

Why score from the near end if you can do it from the middle?
Get rid of the "middle man" and score.

Defense is being highly underestimated.
I played soccer for years. Its very different when its by yourself vs. an opposing team.;)

I agree with you entirely, especially since I play as a striker or a sweeper in soccer... though I think good defensive teams will have a very tough time getting recognized. My girlfriend put it perfectly: "it's not much fun watching you play when you play defense, because it only gets exciting if you screw up".

Our team is going to be more defensively minded I think, and I will be really disappointed if we get written off because we weren't as noticeable as a high-scoring team.
