Re: Pick Your Defense

My choices were based on where gamesmanship meets gracious professionalism, and the murky waters* therein.

A: Cheese Fries are more time-consuming to defeat than the Pork cutlets. So CDF.
B: Teams are more likely to self-damage while performing Dukes Of Hazzard maneuvers, so Moat.
C: Sally Port is slightly less visually obtrusive, and I think requires more precision in teamwork to defeat.
D: Rock Wall for same reason as B.

To explain B and D - of course if a robot gets damaged executing some "hey y'all watch this" maneuvers, we'll send some of our pit crew over to help with repairs. This will also give our scout team and mechanical team some good info regarding robustness of robot designs, which could help us should we find ourselves in an alliance picking position.

*despite what you might think, this is not a direct confirmation of WATER GAME
