Re: Best way to estimate the best defense bot

We look at several things:
* What sort of drive train does the bot have?
* What sort of traction are on the wheels?
* How fast is the robot?
* How well does it turn?
* Has the robot done well in pushing matches?
* How smart is the drive team? (i.e. do they commit fouls?)

They key is to scout the pits just as well as the games. Often the best defensive bots play no defense during qualifying matches.
