I'm inclined to say that it is as good or better to block points as score them, in equal amounts- in the interest of being selected, at least, even if not selecting during alliance picking, I think that strong defensive robots are much more visible and noticeable than strong scoring robots; there are less people that can shut down (insert number of points here) than can score (insert same number) at any given event.

my view exactly well put and well said
