Re: Hypothetical defensive situation

The Key offers " zero impact protection" during a HE shot or LE shot/dump..I would expect any defense bot to be impacting "early and often" down near the key and simply look for the visual hand count by a ref and make sure to exit the key within 5 sec to avoid foul. We saw what will happen should be played last year with shots on the castle up close..."the ramming hard zone" the only difference this year is if defender in in the key then they have < 5 seconds to do their defense inside the key and exit or give other alliance 5 points ( 15 HE goals or 45 LE goals)

The key is not a protected area... defense played there will be brutal if done . IMO

That being said I highly doubt a key defender type bot will be employed much, to many other points to defend elsewhere

the rturn of nets to 2' bots within the tall x,y perimeter via cheescake may be a thing to get a foot net over a low bot
