The only thing that stops these robots is a small, powerful defensive robot that pushes them away.

A defensive robot is also key to preventing the opposing shooters from scoring on the rest of the field. Keep in mind that your opponents have a strategy that they must stick to in order for them to work effectively. A defensive robot's job is to break this strategy by running around the field, bumping and pushing other robots. A top notch defensive robot will match the best shooter out there.


What came first: the student or the mentor?
