177 won 2 regionals and Galileo in 2006 by only playing defense because we knew how to win by not playing the game as intended, and somehow everyone else was convinced else we were a good shooter. We intentionally kept the score low and won using the ramping and autonomous bonuses to win.
We actually caused a member of the GDC to lose a bet where he claimed no purely defensive robot would make it to Einstein.
FYI we were the 2 seed in Galileo that year and we rarely scored an offensive point.
OH, and we won Newton and the Championship in 2007 by using defense to distract everyone from the fact we had our partners splitting up the Rack to prevent long chains of tubes to keep the score low so we could win with ramping bonuses.
