But when you think about it, all the alliances at Einstein will be offense minded like last year.

I have to disagree with the all offensive alliance like last year comment. Last year if you sneezed wrong you were penalized so playing any kind of defense was very difficult. That promoted the offensive alliances. This year if you don't have three robots that can score and defend, remember you have a DEFENSIVE PERIOD, you don't have a chance. I think the people with a shooter only mentality have really think about ALL aspects of the game. You can't only be good at one thing in this game and win when you play a team that has balance and strategy.
