I'm hoping that defense will be a viable option this year. I've seen matches with one robot blocking three, and matches with absolutely NO attempts at defense.

What I'd like to see is a team with one dedicated and good defender, and two scorer robots that can get at least 4-5 tubes each on the rack (at least 1 Ubertube), and deploy successful minbots, getting 1st, 2nd, and at the very least 3rd places. This would make a successful team, in my opinion.
