I can see robots with very limited sensors passing 1 maybe 2 lines scoring 4 or 8 points. Lets do the math...stop a mad lap bot from multiple laps(16pts per lap)...or sit there and hold them to 4 possibly 8 if you get shoved over. And if they do hit you or any obstacle what are the chances there robot will have sophisticated enough control systems to continue making laps?

Doing nothing or moving a couple feet will be one of the most common significant defensive play this year, and depending on who your facing it will be worth the sacrifice.

(and realize that most speed demon bots are full weight and would hit a bot that most likely is, plus they're geared higher and most likely couldn't push you out of the way.)
