Re: Defense? Spy Bots?
As far as I know, and im pretty sure of this, you may NOT start with a boulder if you start as a spy bot.
Correction: I meant to say you can start with a boulder as a spy bot.

Re: Defense? Spy Bots?
Very true and I really like that you brought this up. Maybe the 10% of robots not going under the low bar will be very useful in blocking low robots that try to shoot high goals.

Defense? Spy Bots?
So there hasn't been much talk about defensive robots or spy bots. So is there maybe one or two teams attempting defense or starting as a spy? Or will this be a purely offensive game?

Re: Terrifying Karthik
We have a few (more than a few i lied) possibilities here.
1. Karthik is scared of all the idiots that are going to make their robots 15-16 inches and are not going to be able to make it under.

Re: Low Bar
That is good in my opinion because if it is a conistent shooter and other teams are less geared toward shooting in the high goal but can scale and break defenses you will have a good matchup.
