Re: Do defensive, low scoring tactics work?
This is true--however, this field seems to offer plenty of Plans B. If Bluabot is blocking you, win a shoving match. Or whistle for a partner to come over and dance with Bluabot for a while. Or, retreat and head for the nearest wall--there's three more goals there.
Unless there is a wall involved (and there isn't too much wall this year, as the goals and loading zones take up quite a healthy piece of real estate), it'd take the majority of the Blue alliance to stop one offensive Redabot.
I'll be very interested to see if defense is as powerful as it has been in the past.
