Re: Midwest = Offense?

I think us West Coast teams do try and focus on offense more. More of the mentality of, how can you win if you didnt score any points. I think our team, although may not be the best at it, is a good defensive player. It is a pretty good offensive player (once again, may not be the very best), but West Coast Mentality i think is to score more than block. But this year, if you have two good shooters, it takes three robots to block. At least from the matches i have seen. One shooter, one blocker and its interesting. Two shooters needs three robots to block efficiently as usually the shooter (if shooting) will be next to each other, which then dont allow blocking or pushing from two of the four sides of each robot. So, i think offense is a good strategy for this years game over defense, which gives a small, not at all large, edge to West Coast Mentality.
