These seem like very different goals to me. Maintaining a desired field position seems to imply an offensive strategy. For example, this year it might have been beneficial for a robot to hold its shooting position for a few seconds while getting ready to shoot. Forcing away opponents to stop them from slipping past seems to imply a defensive strategy.
