I would have to agree with Jester about the Bayou. Overall the teams there were incredibly strong. 118, 364, 701. I must say when we saw that 364 and 118 formed an alliance I thought the whole competition was over. That is until we played probably some of the best defense that I have ever seen us play on them. We were able to keep 364 from scoring at all and held 118 to scoring only 3 with half of our drivetrain. I would have to say 364 is the best scoring robot that I have witnessed in person or possibly on video too and we kept them from scoring at all. I believe 364 could score a ringer every 5 seconds if undefended just to show how efficient they were. Our alliance put together a great strategy and everyone played there role perfectly and we were able to go through eliminations without losing a single match. It just goes to show how important defense is when played well as well as the need for a ramp bot when trying to win by using defense. Also aginst many good scorers you need a strong drivetrain to effectively stop them because many of them like our team also have very strong drivetrains to resist defense. I believe that defense can win but only when the alliance follows a strategy perfectly.
