At least you silly simbots learn from your defeats.
I love defense. As great as Simbot Simon was, there was a large part of me that wished we had a grizzly defensive robot. So it should be no surprise that we picked teams such as 229 and 48 last year. To quote the great Woodie Hayes, "A good defense will beat a good offense, and if it doesn't it'll sure leave them something to think about for next time..."

Aside: John, defense is important in these games. But who won when 1114 and 229 faced off in Long Island...
