In elims, I wouldn't be surprised to see an entire alliance comprised of robots that are easily able to delivery 26+ discs each -- so defense may be tricky.
Yesterday our team was talking about how at regionals we've been to we typically see second picks in the serpentine draft usually begin with selecting a third offensive robot because those seeds are concerned with the scoring capabilities of the top seeds, and defensive picks can sometimes fall to top seeds...this will be our first trip to champs, so I'm curious to see if that trend continues.
