Re: Defense: Pushing and Blocking

Verdomme! Almost everyone is going to have the same amount of defensive ability, techincally speaking. I can assess the defensive capability of your robot with two questions:

1) What is the net power rating of all of your drive motors?
2) What is your lowest gear ratio?

That's all folks! After that it really comes down to driver skill, the range of which is fairly minimal in my experience. So most of the time, robots will be at a stalemate defensively, or it will be a complete shutout.

The game will be decided by your offensive capability.
