Playing defensive, putting the rough side out makes more sense, to increase the friction with the other robot. Cored noodles are also preferred for playing defense as well because they conform to the other robot for better grip.
When playing offense, you want to limit the ability of other robots to play defense on you, so slicker fabrics and stiffer (solid core) noodles are usually preferred.
