Many of the comments on defensive strategy mention the alley as a danger. But a defensive robot is on the half of the court with their alliance’s alley. That is, their safe zone. A defensive robot can “patrol” their alley and score points by touching robots that come too close.

In fact, the key and the alley are only 59 inches apart. In theory, a red robot in contact with the red key could touch a blue robot in contact with the blue alley. How is that scored?
