Defense was less of a factor and it really depended on how good was your robot.

Defense was definately a factor this year... not so much a straight pushing match like last year but there were many teams that incoprorated completely defensive strategies.... Keeping the trackballs away from the good hurdling robots and blocking them from making their way around the track was a huge componet of this years game... And yes pushing was also very evident this year to from my observations..
I never once saw a robot politely bump another and then wait for 6 seconds in order to pass LOL
..
I thought this years game was very fun for hurdling teams because every match was a battle not only to hurdle but also to aquire and to maneuver around the track. 6 robots + 4 track balls = very full track...
