Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?
I watched 4451 come out of the loading zone and zoom around the edge of the field while another team was tasked to block them missed. This was during quals I saw this and decided then if I had to play them I wouldn't bother wasting the defense unless I had a very fast and powerful defender. So I think 233 could have blocked them (which is why we needed them - and to get them off of us).
I saw a lot of matches where defenders just sat in the middle of the field waiting for their target to present itself, which was just a waste. If my 3rd bot isn't a strong defender I'd rather have it out of the way and climbing. 20-30 points is points no matter how you look at it, and if we can get another rep in due to a clear alley then its bonus. Seemed to me that defense usually blocked up things for both teams and we needed more room to run. Hopefully we left all our gremlins in Orlando and the pink curse is behind us.
