Even the offense will likely be dependent on physical play and pinning. Elimination alliance structure will likely be a little different than the other events with teams of this caliber, and the ability of the third partner to play defense, pin, and avoid being pinned will be even more critical to each and every alliance.

QFT.
In the 7 years I've been involved with FIRST, I don't believe I've seen a game designed that emphisizes the New England style physical defense (and offense?) as well as
Lunacy does.
Make sure your chin-straps are on tight, your control systems are tied down well, and your bumpers are strong as I expect to see some real solid contact and very physical (within the rules) play ... It's gonna be fun up here at BAE.
