Actually, a well-driven defensive robot could still block the entrance to easier defenses. As long as they are not touching an opposing robot in the outerworks they can still prevent access.
Well if that's so I stand corrected, I just see it as an unlikely call though except maybe at highest levels with sharp shooting form 16 feet bots as the norm.
