Re: Winning Defensive Allaince?

In the Waterloo regional, the winning alliance (68, 1305, 1241) was extremely defensive. 1241 actually removed their arm to play pure defense! No scoring whatsoever- simply a pure chassis with an incredible drivetrain.

Truck Town had it's arm go down in the finals at waterloo (unplugged victor... grr) and playing with 2 defensive robots for a game against an almost purely offensive alliance ended marvelously with Truck Town's defensive alliance winning not only that game, but the entire regional as well.

I believe the ideal robot is one that can do both well, defense and offense. A good capper with lots of traction and not too tipsy is a scary, scary robot to play against.
