Oh and Lil Lavery, if you think defensive teams are a dime a dozen, then you obviously havn't been paying close enough attention. Picking the right defensive bot has made and broken many finals alliances. These teams were diamonds in the rough at the districts my team has been at, and we are kicking ourselves for not picking them.
I totally agree with you as our teams scouting captain and strategist the 3rd pick can make or break the alliance. And you have to pick the right defensive bot that works best for you because my idea for defense is a bot that can keep up with the lead offensive bot and to be able to push balls in occasionally thats my idea
