defense tackle or offensive guard?

The title seems appropriate as I watch Manning and Brady go at it...

Our team is starting to prepare a "playbook" for 2 and 3 assist plays for what (we hope) are common capabilities of likely alliance team members in the eliminations and selected qualifying rounds (where all 3 robots move well). Are many other teams doing this? And is it a worthy discussion topic?

So robots 1 and 2 on alliance A are attempting an assist - what is the most productive activity of the 3rd robot on the alliance? Some choices are to play classic defense against alliance B or guard the alliance A assist or play goalie. Often the capabilities of robot A-3 will dictate an answer but what if robot A-3 could execute any of the 3 activities.

Comments, suggestions?
