We will have one of those Ramp/defender robots at Manchester.
Do I believe that defense alone will win? No. But I believe that defense will play a far bigger role than most believe. I believe that having at least 1 defensive robot will be critical to a winning alliance.
With active defense, robots and the rack obscuring vision, the pressure of time, and the difficult task of putting a ringer on the rack consistantly I believe that a great scorers can be limited to 3 scoring chances. That means a max of 48 points (3x3). A good ramp can score between 45 and 60 points each match.
I guess we'll see in Manchester if our assessment of the game strategy is right or not.
