Re: Team Update #6

Defense still matters, and pinning still matters -- you just have to do it as the robots cross the field, and not up-close-and-personal. Pushing around a robot enough to double the time it takes to cross the field is equivalent to halving the number of tubes they can score.

Four-second pins, blocking lines of access without pinning, etc -- these things till matter, and matter quite a bit!
