Some tips:
  • I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that you were underweight - typically you want to be 119.9 pounds when playing defense, so that it's harder for an offensive team to push you around. If you are indeed underweight, add weight evenly distributed along the outside edges as low as you can.
  • Learn where the opponents like to shoot from and don't let them get there. This is a huge one - some scouting goes a long way.
  • Make sure you take some of your practice time at worlds to get good at getting on the batter quickly and without great sight lines - this will be a huge necessity for good alliances at worlds.
Hey thanks! We were talking on thr bus ride back home and we were all super i pressed with your turret too btw. But going into defence for thr first match we were really worried we wouldnt hsve the power to push, adding weight would slow us down and add alot more work for the drive train. Do you think that that will be a problem? I dont want to reduce the gearing any lower as it is since we were pretty slow
