Re: Top Scoring Robots?

I was wondering if anyone was considering defense in there scouting and if so, did you use it to pick your alliances?

I know a lot of people think any robot that can simply drive can be defensive but there are more factors than that. Drive train, robot frame, driver's defensive experiences, speed, acceleration, traction control, wheel base, and driving style, to name a few immediate ones. At the AZ regional and Nationals I saw a huge lack interest in defensive robots. This disappointed me because our bot was, for the most part, was defensive and I think we did a good job at it. I want to know what everyone else thought about it and if you saw it same way?
