The first situation will be especially interesting when both alliances are gear-strong. Then you're in a very precarious high-speed chess match deciding how much defense to play when. If you both just concentrate on finishing gears before playing Aerial Assault (aka battle bots)...you'll both be finished gears already. Defense then is certainly not worth defense earlier. So it's a decision of how much work to put into defense up front while risking not finishing the 4th rotor. Or more likely, you're both not going for a 4th rotor (tying at 3rd with 1-3 climbers each), and try to dupe each other out about it while not screwing up.
This is gonna be fun.
