Second worst game we've ever had. The #1 worst game was pure, 100% offense. 2001 had a 4v0 against the clock. 2003 wasn't bad... except that any stack of more than one container became an instant target. (And the "how high is the stack" and "does the paper slide" discussions...)

Re: New Defensive Strategy?

For a game like aim high, would it be legal to construct a robot that attached to its alliance partners in such a way as to completely block off the field?

Such a bot would be awesome to see in action, because they are going to win everything.

Do you have a decent video showing this defense?

I'd wager there were 20+ teams capable of equally effective defense (if not better), without having a special defense purposed system (but were too busy playing offense).
