Re: Winning Defensive Allaince?

Just my experience from the finals of the Las Vegas regional -

We were against 2 great cappers(987 and 64) and a defensive robot (1527), and I would say from our standpoint the defensive robot gave us the most trouble. Not saying the cappers weren't on our minds, but the defensive bot is the one who we worried about. In round 1, they pushed us over legally (I don't know how we actually tipped though...first time we have been knocked over when pushed from the bottom), from which we never could recover. In the second match, they continued to present problems to our alliance. I didn't feel confident commiting a robot to counter them, because I felt we needed our whole alliance in there capping. It presented an interesting situation, and overall, they won.
