I can think of one reason... one that has haunted me for quite some time... we were scrimmaging against the robowranglers where they were playing defense against us. We could not get past them at all! The only way I could think that would have worked would be to go faster doing a lateral maneuver, and then curve past them. (A short burst of speed here).
