Problem is, you will not find many good offensive robots third round at districts. More likely than not, you're better off trying to neutralize one of their 'bots with your third pick than try to use the pick to outscore them.

With all the protected areas, a good defense is going to require good drivers that know the rules. Smart offensive drivers are going to make full use of the protected areas. Bad defense will rack up more foul points than they save.

If an alliance doesn't score the required 8 boulders (because their shots keep getting blocked and/or they keep getting hit out of aim), they can't Capture the Tower.
The key is to not draft bad defense, just like you wouldn't want to draft bad offense, or bad anything for that matter.
