Re: Is defense necessary in practice rounds?

There really is no reason for it. On practice day even if your not supposed to be on offense you can practice many things like shooting and picking up balls or having your human player toss them into the machine. That said, have your bumpers on if possible because you really don't know where some teams are going to go during autonomous mode. Some of them don't even know. Letting people get back the feel and dialing in their robots to be competitive. Let them do it the game will be better on Friday and Saturday for it. No one wants to get broken during a meaningless scrimage, although that would give you plenty of time to fix what breaks and make it better.
