My soccer coach always told me "The best defense is a good offense".

On that note, I'd like to say that 71's '02 bot was a great defensive robot, just because it could dominate the offensive side of the game.

As for strategies, offensive-defensive strategies could include scoring as many game pieces possible to ensure that the other alliance does not get any. This relates an iteration of the tube starvation this year, and a possible strategy in '09 (wasn't there back then, but it is probably a viable strategy).
