Re: Do you agree?

Like Newton418 said, for us stopping 118 from scoring 80 points (which they could easily do) was way better than just trying to score 80 points ourselves. Our alliance was scoring in the 60's throughout the finals, semi-finals, and finals. If our alliance had just tried to score against 118 instead of preventing them from scoring we would not have been able to top their score, especially because their alliance partner team 437 was also an awesome shooter. So I'm all for having a great defensive bot in an alliance. Actually, I think most of the alliances that were made for the finals, etc. included a defensive bot and the ones that didn't have a strong defensive bot were knocked out.
