Re: 1549's stratagy...
I can definately see the value of defence, with the tripplets (1114,1503,1680) on the loose, and other robots taht are capable of emptying 10+ balls in just a few seconds, being able to deflect the robot, making every ball miss is very key as it can cause a 30point swing! Congrats to 1549 for not giving up!
I know we were able to do that once or twice (with our primarily offensive robot) and it definately let us win the match, but with a 50/50 split between offence and defence, im sure it would have been easier!
But on the other hand, being pure defence (not designed to score), is not a great way to "Aim high", as packing a lot of weight, and a solid tank drivetrain isnt much in the end of engineering and innovation (IMHO), and it also leads to very brutal "battle bots" in some, but not necessarily all.
