Easy. Don't stall the CIMs. There will be some code protection, but otherwise it will be driver training.
Teams who think it will be
easy to push/etc a bot that is placing a gear have another thing coming. If you come to defend us on one side lift, we'll make you chase us to the other side lift, behind 2 airlift ships that 100% obscure driver vision of what's going on with your robot. You'll likely get caught/jammed up on the walls that separate the lifts.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like that fact - I have no idea why the GDC is obsessed with obscuring the driver's vision of the field in recent years. Yet teams are better off watching the field tour videos of the driver's station before they decide what defense they play. There are plenty of other spots on the field for good defense
