Re: Defensive assault strategy?

I agree with what others have been saying. I would employ a much more effective defensive strategy then wasting discs that you can shoot, and focus on either hanging and making it more difficult to view down the field -or- playing some more typical man to man defense.

I've coached "defensive" teams in the past, and never has any of the teams I've worked with used a scoring component to defend a robot. You are wasting points that either you or your alliance partner could be scoring. As I said before, employ some more conventional defense techniques and always avoid penalty opportunities when playing D.
