I agree. Like in 03, once you're ahead in points, defense is the best strategy. My favorite part was when the announcer said a robot was broken, then the robot spun around to show they worked.

Other memorable moments included 148 spinning because their drivers were bored, 118 sitting and waiting 10 seconds for a ref to notice that they were waiting for a cycle, and when 190 got to restart their match (that they were dead in) because the ref accidentally lit up the pedestal before the auto balls were cleared.
