This is true for a zone defence, but not necessarily for a man-to-man style one. If you have grippy wheels like 306 and 217 have or high traction, reliable treads like 180 and 753 I'm pretty confident that you could effectively remove two robots from the equation or at least heavily reduce their capability to score. Another effective defensive maneuver might just be shaking the spiders, which is pretty easy. That said, we're probably going to abandon our defensive tradition this year in favor of offence. Or, at least focus on offence and if a little defensive capability finds its way in, hey, thats all the better.
