Re: Defense in Ultimate Ascent
From a defensive driver perspective, I'd say that a solid drive train that's fast and a nearly 60" bot could play passable defense...maybe not against Einstein caliber robots, but could play decently against cyclers. I found that defense in UA doesn't necessarily equate to blocking shots (Though it does help to shut down teams), but also owning the lane to the protected feeder station. As long as you can waylay them back and forth, you might be able to cut a trip or two out of their match.
Just my $.02.
