i think we'll come to find that defensive strategies for the most part will fall through, and while some bots will be better at them than others, and an alliance may pick a team based on defense, purely offensive alliances will be able to overcome most defenses... esspecially if they're limited to boxing in the ball at the corners. i can however see shotblocking as a legitimate defensive move... but i don't know how practical that idea is, since there have been very few instances of it thus far. i guess another defensive move could be pushing opponents balls backwards across lane markers, but i've seen this strategy, and for the most part it hasn't worked out too well.
