Re: Is Defense Back in a Big (Bad) Way?
I am interested to see how the lack of 'tall' robots impacts defensive play this year. It strikes me that a box with a stick or a box with a wall will be a very effective non-chassis-contacting defensive robot.
It also seems likely that teams who can shoot from the nominal protection of the outer works will have significant protection from said short robots.

Shawn,
great thread.
This is 2010 all over again in a very big way.

A lot of care must be taken in this strategy - if a robot releases control of a boulder and does not fully enter their opponents courtyard they will draw a foul. However, darting into the courtyard after the boulder has been shot should be quite easy.
