[NOV8R]

Hi Barry, Our strategy from the begining has been to play defense from the start and then deploy ramps for bonus points during the end game. There are many ways to be defensive with our design all the way from deploying the ramps in our home zone at the start of the match to keeping opposing alliance bots from reaching the rack. Test we did early on showed us that our bot anywhere between the opposing alliance drivers and the rack make it very difficult for them to place tubes. This years' 6 ft tall bots have expanded the defense play book. Using what the rules allow is not contra to gracious professionalism. There is a big difference between being agressive and being defensive. Our goal is to play excellent defense.
