Re: Do defensive, low scoring tactics work?
Once more...the offense versus defense argument.
A team which designs specifically for defense will be very effective in this competition. A box on wheels which can't do anything else is not a good...

Re: Capping Speed
When you say "capping speed," do you mean the time it takes to load a tetra, travel to the goal, and deliver it? Or just the time it takes to deploy it when you have reached the goal?
