Re: Most unused defense of 2016?
I'm surprised by the number of people who think the moat will be underutilized. Basically any team with less than 2.5" ground clearance is likely to struggle with it. I'm a little confused by the term "unused," does this mean the defense to be the least frequently placed or least frequently crossed?
Personally, I think the defense that will be the least frequently crossed is the Cheval. It's probably the most sensitive of any of the defenses, and requires an amount of precision far greater than most of the others. A short robot, as Ri3D Redacted is trying to prove, should be able to get through the portcullis passively, so it could end up being a relatively easy defense for some robots. However, the portcullis also offers some awesome utility as a vision block, which may make it a great pick into an alliance that focuses on capture points.
