Re: Was play this year too aggresive?
But isn't there a point where there becomes too much defense for the game? I guess on our team we came to the conclusion that it would be best to maximize points and build a robust machine--beating up on other robots wasn't really a priority. We did count out an external ball storage system because we were afraid of it getting smashed up (and also for other reasons like driving difficulty) but when teams are scoring like 15 to 10 points I don't think that's cool.
I guess part of my view comes from the fact that it is such a rush to totally stuff a goal to the brim and then cap it and get 160 points from a goal...and the fact that defense doesn't score any points.
The way we generally approached it was to do what we did...small balls and cap...and then play defense afterwards, keeping them from decapping us or maybe trying to de-hang people.
