What happened at the end of last year in Rack n Roll I wouldn't exactly call defense. More like assault and battery.
I think everyone is selling this game short for defensive possibilities. Sure you can't go the other way but there is more to defense than just smashing your robot against the top offensive robot til it is either on it's side or in pieces. I bet you will see teams poke the ball away and send it bouncing to the far ends of the field thus costing then precious time. Using stalling tactics to make the other bot have to go around costing them time. You will see bumping and you will see people come up with other tactics to slow down the other alliance. Every year people come up wth ways to win the game that's not in the rules but doesn't break the rules. It's called gamesmanship.
