While I didn't like 494 destroying my team's front end, there is nothing anybody could do to it. We didn't protect it that much because we thought this years game would be primarily offensive.

However this sets a dangerous statement to future FIRST games. Basically teams will noticed that building a simple strong machine will win the game because they can disable any robot trying to score points. I didn't particularly liked last years game because it turned mostly into a defensive game. Personally I like an offensive game better which leads to a high scoring game.

Defense is still a crucial part of strategy though, and should be used. However it shouldn't be a primary feature.
