I agree, playoffs will seek additional offensive bots as second picks. You never know what Freak incident will take your best offensive bot out of competition.
At Philly last year, the Cybersonics robot, one of the best offensive bots at the regional, and the first bot selected in the playoffs, had a tetra tragically get stuck in a position that they could not release it. They had to result to defense for the remainder of the match, and the alliance was defeated.
This years game is highly tied to offensive capabilities, just as last years was. You won't descore your opponents points and then go run for the ramp, like Stack Attack's game flaw allowed. The ultra-fast offensive bots (like the Cybersonics and Robbe Xtreme last year) will continually give ground and drive around any defender to a different goal. They've been doing it for years, and they'll do it again this year.
If you plan to play defense against them, I hope your human player has a good arm, cause the player will have plenty of balls to feed to your robot.
Guaranteed!
