I was referring more to herding only robots (or lap only bots, but not tiny ones with no pushing power) playing the defense, and I assume that most of the herder only bots will be able to outrun their heavier shooter/lifter counterparts. If a herder isn't built for speed I'm not sure what the point of making it was.

I definitely won't advocate trying to block a ball shot from a shooter though. I know I don't want the top of my robot snapped off or lying on the ground.
