Value of Defense

As I've been reading these messages I've heard talk of 'powerhouse' alliances of two (or three) really high-scoring robots. These teams have been called 'unbeatable'. Have we started to overlook something here? Isn't an ideal alliance made up of two teams that best complement one other, not supplement? Wouldn't the ideal team be made up of one high scoring robot and one that maybe plays a fairly defensive game? Or maybe two that are somewhere in between?

Just remember that the capability to get all the points doesn't get you everything in the elimination rounds. You hafta be able to keep them. Or am I all alone on this...?
