Re: No Team Should have to Resort to a D-bot (and how to avoid doing so)
Defensive bots(that are built well) can be a huge game changer. Often times defense decides who wins. Now i'm not a big fan of box-bots either but saying that every team should build an offense bot isn't necessarily a good solution.
A good compromise, I think, is building a defensive robot(if that's the rout a team wants to take) but incorporate some feature that allows it to score points, say in the endgame. Last year a defensive robot with a good minibot was very competitive, this year a defensive robot that also allows for easier balancing could be very competitive.
