So, no direct defense; but plenty of interaction.
And there will be more interactions if you think that most of time the robots have only half of the area we used to have...
I believe this year game will benefit intelligent defense, as building a robot only to push others won't be so successfull...

The game is clearing in my mind, and I believe that it will be much better than we expect... All we need to do is think smart... and there will be many different strategies to attack or defense, that you might use without break any rule...
