There is alsways a danger in having a robot that is
defensive - even if it is great at defense, it is going to have low QP. Defensive play during QP does not contribute to any potential ally QP.
Generally speaking that is probably the case. There is, however, the luck of the alliance draw. Our '99 robot was purely defensive. We scored a grand total of one floppy in our three competitions. As luck would have it, though, we ended up with some good offensive partners in our Q matches at nationals and ended up as a qualifier.
