Grant,

I have to agree with you. Two offense robots, one defense seems to be the most effective to me. Three is definatley a crowd in this game. A good defensive robot and team can deny alot of points as well as bring a crucial tube for a LOGO to your end of the field. If tube starvation is severe it might make sense for one offense, one tube retriever and one defence but if the human players are good, I think two can stay one offense.
