Ill agree with Paul and stick with my 3 offensive robots I am skeptical only because I have not seen it done yet, not seen a successful 2 offensive 1 defensive alliance in the elims win yet personally.
This is a movie somebody team 195 had posted here in another post. This is the 2nd finals match of UTC where teams 69, 126, and 1071 decided it would be easier to make the match 2 vs 2.

I will be honest 1071 is in no way a "defensive" team. we only played defense in 4 or 5 matches all weekend, includeing Thursday's practice rounds. I think it's important that all teams need to be fast cappers, but having a team that can play defense (not pushing and ramming) but real defense is probably going to be the key to the winning alliances at nationals at some point during the elminiation rounds.
