Not necessarily. Remember, you want your colored ball on top of a goal, which in theory doesn't rule out blocking, pinning, hooking, entanglement, unintentional tipping, etc, but sure will decrease a great amount of it. But then again, that's not what the game's about =).

: I am again amazed at the wisdom of FIRST. They have eliminated the blocking, pinning, hooking, entanglement, unintentional tipping, and other intended acts from the competition. They could have made more rules and have the refs interfere with the game, but no, they came up with the simple idea of having all the robots on the same team! What genius!

: Don't worry about the great defensive teams of the past. They will apply their talents to developing offensive machines.
