Re: Pick Your Defense

IMO FRC is about speed so...

A - Cheval de Frise - It simply can't be done fast, as it will require precision driving since the arms need to move down as the bot moves up the ramp. Portcullis on the other hand can be quick defeated with fast well engineered arms.

B - Ramparts - More likely to throw fast bots off center then the moat will. Though if I thought the other team might high center on the moat I would go with that.

C - Sally Port - Harder hold open without getting in the way then the drawbridge.

D - Rough Terrain - Again will throw bots off center, also might high center teams. Rock wall will be easier to beat then people think with the ramp that leads up to the platform.
