In a word, YES. I still believe that team is going to be one of the most unique robots strategically and a valuable asset to an alliance. They can play defense anywhere they want, not just at the line. I would hope that they can make the sides go up and down at a reasonable pace though(up to get in place, down to stay in place). Besides that, there is still ambiguity as to what happens when you push a robot into it. I think that if you don't make a slight attempt to go around them, then you(scoring bot) is at fault regardless of them being near the line. If you try to go around and they move into your way, then it is their(defense bot) fault. I hope they clarify it this way in the updates though. It should make it more cut and dry for refs and make the punishment fit the crime more.
