Re: Is Defense key to this game?

If I was in the top seed, and there were only 1 or 2 effective, reliable ramp bots (60 point max capability), i would take them over the next best ringer scorer. Top seeds may get their great second scorers in the first round of selections if they choose so, but at the lower seeding teams expense of picking the best rampbots in the second round.
From my experience this year the rampbots haven't played that big of a role. Most teams with the double robot capacity take too much time to set up. At the NJ regional most teams with 2 ramps only ended up with one on top at the end. It is also not always reliable considering that ringers are getting in the way in the home zone.
