After reading ThirteenofTwo's post about the lack of defense (and a pretty good idea) made me think of this: In the perfect defensive game, there would be two offensive robots, and one defensive robot per side.

What are the varying strategies that this defensive bit can do, now that we've seen week one?

ThirteenOfTwo suggested a good idea where the two weakest robots on an alliance would go to the coopertition bridge and spend the whole match trying to get the coopertition balance, ensuring a minimum score of +2 seeding points per alliance.
