Re: Do we want another game without defense?

My biggest issue with the lack of defense is that the game actually got more boring as robots improved, because the best alliances had the exact same match every time, which was great for them but got kind of dull in the stands. At MSC, the winning alliance had a great game plan that they executed every time, and that's why they won. The thing being, once you had seen one of their matches, you'd seen them all. It was thrilling at first to see amazing alliances racking up high scores, but eventually it was just like watching an assembly line.

Should next year's game have no defense? No. I think it should be something they break out every once in while, incorporating what they've learned from this year, to give a change of pace.
