This year the best kind of defense is to have a robot that can kick all the balls out of the far zone. That is much better than a robot that only gets in the way of the opposition for two reasons.

1. Your opponent can't push balls in that just got kicked down field.
2. You can't score something that is down in the far zone.

So 1718s offensive rankings are pretty useful. You just have to put kicking balls fast out of the zone as more of a priority then aiming and scoring.

(also great job 1718 you guys were fantastic partners, we almost had 67, 217, 2612 in the semis!)
