Alex, I'll be honest with you, I think that your argument is baseless. Defense is a valid strategy, and as an offensive robot, you must play through it or lose. Also, if defense-oriented robots were so weak and flimsy, you should have no trouble dealing with them unless your robot is similarly weak or flimsy; all you have to do is push them out of the way. In addition, a strategy that has severely damaging or destroying opposing robots as one of its main goals has no place in this game, and I would hope the refs would DQ any team trying such a foul strategy. A side note, calling other robots "half-finished" or "defective" is just bad manners, and is very rude.
