It'd be great to see a bunch of teams start refusing to attend practice rounds when a team on the opposing alliance insists on playing "defense" on them the whole time. After all, if you're not going to let them score anyway why should they bother?

I know I'm not going to get you to change your opinion but you won't change mine either. I personally feel that spending a whole practice round (look at the agendas - they're never called "practice matches") harassing another team who is just trying to get their robot functions down is uncool. But whatever, each is entitled to their opinions.

Maybe someday a traditionally "offensive" team with a strong drivetrain will simply pin you in a corner for the whole practice round and then you can decide how well you like that.
