Re: Defense is Back in a Big (Good) Way
San Diego was fierce (in eliminations) with multiple (four) non-defense bots playing very aggressive defense and knocking many (a dozen or so) HG shots wide not by blocking but by ramming corners as hard as possible. We even mixed it up as a defensive bot when our shooter jammed as a low bot.
I think what will happen is exactly what I saw in San Diego, teams will look for "Hybrid hidden defenders" instead of "Specific defenders" as they are equally effective and can "do more" for your scoring. As re-purposed bots even without a cheescake just because they had a speedy drive train and mass
Teams that only do one thing are toast
