Agreed; a sturdy drive train with good traction is by far the most important mechanism for playing effective defense. The second-picked defense-bot is a trend that seems to be continuing and growing this year, and all the best ones are those with enough pushing strength and maneuverability to stop the opponent from scoring.
Our own second pick in Tech Valley, team 633, was a low robot incapable of blocking shots but they managed to defend very effectively by virtue of having skilled drivers and a lot of torque. Also, knowing the defense rules is certainly very important...
