we had a ringing bot but the arm and the ramps interfered with each other;
we ended up having to take off both mechanisms and litterally run around with a13" high , 4ft/s slow, and 98 lbs light (!!!WITH THE BATTERY!!!) defensive(???) robot.

Also we were running on 2 small cims on a 4wd. basic kit bot.

this is not anywhere near an ideal defensive bot, however, any decent ringing robot virtually had half of the field to it's self when we were on their alliance because it was just so easy to play defense.

an example would be
a match where our one robot limited an alliance of 3 to only 2 ringers ( they were all decent ringing robots). While simultaneously keeping our side of the field clean for our one functional alliance partner, enabling them to score 6 ringers in a row.


a good defensive strategy can limit even the best of alliances to only a couple of ringers
