Most GAMES require a defense, or a strategy to "stop" other teams/participants. I think that it adds to the thinking process. This year's game had only one dimension to it...how to score. There was no ability to stop others from scoring high. We didn't have to think about the flip side of things. To me, it adds more possibilities to how to play a FIRST game. And, I would have to agree with some of the other replies, life is FULL of competition. I'm not saying that we need to tear up other robots, but a little defense wouldn't be bad. And if a person/team is such a sore loser that they can't take getting beaten by someone's defense or a bump or bruise, then they need some help!!
