Why would a defender not play defense against you, unless you are planning on just playing defense... or perhaps you feel they can't?

Based on your video, it will be hard to keep up with you!!!
We're planning some ability to score ringers in a limited number of locations, but we don't imagine that we'll ever be considered so much a scoring threat as to warrant defense through a match. We are expecting some attention, however, and we're hoping that we've reached a happy balance that'll allow us to push through some defense and maneuver around others.

This robot is slower than those we've built for the last two years, so for us, we consider this to be slow and deliberate. It'll be interesting to see if a majority other teams end up faster or slower than our chassis -- especially considering how this season's kitbot is remarkably less well-suited for defense than in years past.
