Re: What criteria do you use for "good" defender?
Never discount a solid defensive bot, in some matches they are they key to winning...
In my opinion there are three things you need for good defence: -Great Drive Team
Driver training and coaching will be a major key to a "defence only" strategy, the ability to have the foresight to antisipate the other driver and get in their way. This does not mean running around the field hitting everyone and driving like a crazy person, but calculated position to best effectively stop or at least slow down the scoring. Hint: Do not Pin... Pester. -Clear Understanding of the Rules
You must know the rules inside and out to avoid penalties. This year pay attention to the End Game rules. -Solid Drivetrain
You need to be quick enough to get in the way, but strong enough to push people around if needed.
