I've been reading this thread for the past few days (.. okay, so I skimmed the last few posts!), but..

Even though defense MAY be a good strategy, I don't necessarily think it's wise to build solely for defense. My team was leaning towards the defense-only strategy and I.. became very annoyed, very fed up.

What's the point of building a box on wheels?

That's all I really have to say. Build for offense, but make your robot sturdy. Make your chassis strong. That way, you have two options and you're not so limited - if your alliance doesn't have enough offense, you can contribute; but if you have too much offense and not enough defense, your robot can STILL DO defense. ... Whereas, if you built a box on wheels.. you're not going to be able to contribute much to offense, whether you want to or not.
