Re: optimal alliance?

I'm seeing some wishes for defensive/thirty point climb robots. I considered this as well, but truthfully, I'm not sure that's the best thing. Wouldn't it make sense for a defender to defend for as much of the match as possible? Especially against teams that shoot basically continuously.

In a related note to all of this, the fastest thirty point climb I've yet seen is 45 seconds. Can anyone beat that with any robot? A defensive robot that can make it to level three in less than thirty seconds is a force to be reckoned with in my estimation.
