According to the rules, that is the wrong way.

There has been a trend in the past for teams to play "defense" every year, which realistically turns into them destroying other robots.

Do no automatically assume teams with more resources do not feel the hurt as much as teams without them. How do you think great teams are created? Thousands of hours of work. Getting your arm ripped off (and season ended) because a team wanted to play "defense" is probably just as disheartening as the situations you stated above.
