Re: Winning Defensive Allaince?

At UTC team 1071 prevented team 230 from scoreing any points. We stole 2 tetra's (6 points and those 2 would have been stacked) and we prevented another two with our arm (another 6 points).. Had we played offense, we would have probably still won, even if we had scored just 1 tetra (we average 4-6 tetra's per match). To be honest, I don't think team 1071 ramed or bumped team 230 it was strictly the arm working

The alliance with team 1071, 69, 126 won the finals match by 12 points, the amount that was stolen and blocked.

I can see the point about 3 teams scoreing vs 2, but that would be a poorly executed defensive plan. Our team knows what types of robots we can block easily and play defense against and we know our limits which is why the few times 1071 does play defense they are sucessful 9 out of 10 times in preventing a team from scoreing.
