Team 1708 played defense at Pittsburgh, and they deservedly have a Champions Trophy to show for it. There is a time for both offensive and defensive strategies in this years game.
I appreciate the change in rules that disallows "high speed ramming". The past few years has produced a number of diamondplate covered "bricks on wheels". I'm tired of watching quality teams build 130 lb hammers just because they can. There's more elegant ways to play defense than beating on the other robot.
