I believe that during qualifications there is going to be less defending! People will want to show what they can do, to try to get ranked number 1. . When it comes time for eliminations, the teams that actually showed during qualifications that they can defend, will have a better advantage of getting picked for an alliance then robots that tried shooting and were not as successful. Its going to be very interesting to see how many robots will defend this year. A good defense bot that can also make a 30 point climb rather fast may be more effective this year then a shooter bot.....
