Not entirely true. Defense was certainly attempted in Seattle, but what really sealed the deal was a strong third robot who could play as a screen for the FCS. 492 kept blockers off our FCS (948) and left them free to pound at the goal.
In Central, our partners 1425 had plenty of defense played on them, but something they were good at was moving and shooting around blockers. They have a really skilled drive team and scored under pressure, unlike most FCS.
FCS's will have a tough time at champs, especially if that is all they do. It is really crucial that you can fill other roles if need be, especially in quals. Floor loading and cycle running will give both 2471 and 2130 a leg up at champs. They might not have the accuracy and point capability that 948 had in Seattle, but the versatility will be just as important, if not more so.
