Re: Is Defense key to this game?

I think that defense will be key to this game. At the Wildstang invitational the two Wildstang bots (their prototype and actual bot) had trouble scoring more than 5 rings in a match uncontested. If a team played defense on them, even with their amazing crab drive they couldn't get more than a row of 5 or 6. If an alliance has two good defensive bots they could limit the other alliance to a row of 5 and then lift up to get 60 points at the end.
