A good defense bot that can also make a 30 point climb rather fast may be more effective this year then a shooter bot.....
Exactly! I agree 100%. The defense robots will only show during finals. And any robot can play defense. In the finals, there will be good shooter robots that will play defense.

It will be interesting to see how many people actually "play" defense for their main strategy.
