this year's game is more like 2005 than 2006. teams should have a defensive robot.
We learned from experience in the finals at the vegas regional against the gila monsters (championship finalist) and the high rollers 987 who had a third defensive robot that messed us up big time when trying to score tetras. We had 3 B++/A-- robots while they had 2 A robots and one F robot in terms of scoring (not their focus). They still beat us out.
On our way to the finals, we simply just outscored other teams, until an annoying bot (hehe.....) kept messing with us trying to score.

Because the camera will be less efffective compared to 2006 in helping teams score (unlike locking in and scoring more than one 7" nerf balls), defense can wreak havoc more effectively this year.
