If everyone is truly building short robots as a recent poll suggest then I think a 4ft 6" blocker angled 15 inches into your short robot could be very effective at blocking shots.
Ahahaha yes, the true value of defense this year. Since short bots seem to be arriving in the masses, a tall bot has the potential to be an extremely powerful defender as well as being a power scoring bot. The options for a tall bot with defensive capabilities could be endless...although this does depend on whether the small bot trend will pan out, or simply be relegated to rookies and Ri3D teams.
