Thank you
This is basically our strategy, too. Seems like it will enable valuable game pts AND ranking points. Make for a valuable alliance member.

Also consider that your breaching robot can potentially deliver boulders to alliance members to can stay put in courtyard and focus on then scoring goals. That aspect seems important to me as only 1 defense bot is allowed. If there are 2 shooters (even if one is back and forth over the works), then one is free to line up a shot. Plus, the defense rules seem to prohibit more than general annoyance of the shooter so buying shooters time in the courtyard can help increase accuracy.

Why are you going to skip the portcullis? Just curious.
