Re: Tele-op defense vs strictly focusing on cycle times and offense

I personally am very confused by the people who seem to underestimate defense as a strategy in this game. Especially where it seems (on CD at least) that more teams are focusing on gears than fuel, I would assume a fair deal of defense. Placing gears is an action that requires traversing the field, every single time, with no other possibility for obtaining them. You have nearly a full length of field where you are susceptible to defense. Even if some teams can break through defense to a moderate degree, if they end the match with an incomplete rotor assembly, the time spend acquiring every gear up from the previous rotor is essentially wasted.
