The lack of defense allowed more creative thinking. I don't want to see it every year but it allowed thoughts you would not have considered in past games.

I know for us we would not have used mechanum wheels if there had been defense and we would have missed out a lot of knowledge and fun getting to know them. The rather flimsy arms we had for picking up the 2nd and 3rd bin in auto would not have survived a game with defense.

I thought the added traffic from 600 teams was handled well by opening up more entryways into the pits and generally more thought to traffic flow thru the building.
