Re: Value of defense

From my team's Game Analysis, 2 great robots should EASILY be able to cross all defenses and eliminate the Tower's Defenses. So what scoring is left for the 3rd robot to do.

Obviously, be a 4'6" shot-blocking wall, of course. Block all the silly 1'2" shooting robots. (just make sure that they don't get too close to the Outer Works and draw penalties.) As long as they can cross either Category B or D obstacles, they can join us to Capture the Tower during the last 30 seconds.

You go ahead with your 3 offensive robots, I'll send my moving wall over to play with you (4 robots in 1 courtyard!!!), and we'll do more with 2 robots than you accomplish with 3.
