Re: Vetting defensive picks
I think that it would be really hard to know if you need a defending robot in your strategy until you are on the field for alliance selection and you know which alliance you are going up against and who the have partnered with.
The only reason that drafting a defensive robot would make since would be because you know that no matter what you do you will never be able to out score your opponents. In that case you would need some way to bring down their effectiveness and a playing defensive robot could certainly help level the playing field. However the only way for you to know how many points there going to score is to know who is going to be on their alliance. And as I stated earlier the you won't know that until you are on the field. You might have a good idea who the alliance captain that your going to face is, but more than likely you won't know who their first pick is going to be, so you have to wait till you are on the field.
So in terms of prep for drafting one I would say that if you have any in mind after you make your pick list just ask them on Saturday morning would they be comfortable doing that for you. I find that if you are anywhere close to being in a picking position and your looking for a team to play defense for they probable will not be very highly ranked, especially since they would have to be your second pick, and they will be doing to do pretty much whatever you ask them to do in order to get picked.
