Re: Defensive Robots/Strategies?

Remember that this field is mirrored rather than rotationally-symmetric. This means that the pinch points your defensive bot exploits also force your partners to go even further to place their gears. Sure, we could start getting into "but we'd go here, and you'd go there, but what if this and that.....". Yet there still remains a fundamental issue with playing zone defense that has no easy answer.

Just be sure your bot can deal with 120-150lbs of another robot crashing into you because you decided to get in their way while their robot was in 'ludicrous mode' .
