Re: Defensive robots

I think you will see by week 3 that there will be a hybrid bot that can be 4ft tall and be able to shoot high low and go under low bar....its easier than you think once you start to think outside the box.

As for good defense in the first two and a half weeks I think just shoving will be enough, a lot of teams will be straight shooters and not have a turret design so simply hitting the front corner of a robot will be sufficient enough. Thus saying that defense bot will have to be fast and agile.

In the weeks following it will be blocker sticks like on 1114 in aerial assist and pool noodles like ultimate accent.

We are in the works of being a hybrid bot for our first regional in Arizona week 2 I think after people see our design it will be on every robot.
