Re: Defense?

I have a different strategy that I think is the best solution to elimination matches. First is the alliance captain, from what I've seen this tends to be a mid zone robot that can traverse the bump and score consistently from the mid zone. The first pick should be a loop bot (if there are any left), the loop bot will hopefully be one that can score. In my opinion, most robots can play in the front zone and score. The second pick should be the strongest front zone robot left, however there is also one huge quality that I think will come to play in this next week to look for in the third alliance choose. Blocking a loop bot. Chances are that the alliance will have to play against another loop bot. If your alliance has a robot that can block this or play first zone fairly well, you are prepared for both situations. I’m sure that many more loop bots will start appearing but there will also be a lot more loop blockers. So in this, the only defense that should be played in eliminations is to block a loop bot.
