Re: Defensive/dumper hall of fame
Looking back at Philly, one really good dumping robot comes to my mind:
Team 84, Chuck. They were an excellent defensive robot and could pick up and score 1 point balls very quickly and effectively.
Also, even though they mainly focused on center goal scoring, team 177 had excellent defensive capabilities and pushing power. It was because of this that they were effectively able to neutralize the shooting power (team 365, MOE) of my team's alliance at Philly. They also have a sophisticated ball picking system, that is elegant in looks as well as function.
While a good shooting robot is necessary for the perfect alliance, a strong defensive robot is also needed to hinder the ability of the opposing alliance to score.
