See earlier in this thread, there's some argument that G43 makes the entire OUTER WORKS a safe zone, since opponents can't interfere with a robot attempting a traverse, and a traverse is defined as any part of your bumper over the OUTER WORKS. So if you mostly cross a defense and stop on the courtyard side with your bumper still over the defense, then you've got yourself a protected zone for lining up your shot. Take your shot and finish crossing the defense by completely clearing it, and your opponent never has a chance to touch you, while you're still perfectly legal on boulder rules.

If they let this protected shooting zone stand, then scouting high scorers to put their weakest defense in slot 4 is going to be important.
