We were alliance 8 up against alliance 1 (who one the regional), the first match we got slammed hard, both alliances were playing offense hard and they could just out hurdle us, so the second match one of the robots and us focused exclusively on just being in the way all the time, while our good hurdler scored points. The impact was dramatic, we ended up only losing by 6 points, if the last hurdle had made it over we would have won the match. On two occasions we knocked the ball away just as they were about to grab it. The judges watched this matched very carefully as it was one of the more aggressive ones.
So in the end defense made something like a 60 point difference.
