Moreover, the defensive team just needs to get their bumpers over and
stop, whereas the offensive team has to deal with hitting them. I'd say the chances of the offensive bot crossing the center line are actually higher, simply because they're programmed to move after the collision, whereas the defender need not. Plus, I'm not sure I'd want an outside-the-bumpers floor pickup for this situation.
