Our robot could have played defense very well against the 179-233 alliance in the Florida regional. 179 could only pick up tubes from the alliance wall and our third team - 945 was not a weak scorer and we had the stronger drive train. Though our robot was definitely built for offense, we had the pushing power in low gear to shove bots that tried to defend us like nothing. Unfortunately, we lost high gear on our right side (for some reason, robots dont run well with one side trying to run at 4x the gear ratio as the other...) making it impossible to play any kind of effective defense as 179 and 233 could run loops around our robot. If you have the speed to catch a robot and the power to shove them, you can play defense (pay attention to those home zone markers though)
