It gives the winning alliance another 4 points, but they prove to the scouting teams they can do it. Thoughts?
It has been my experience that teams often look for the overall capabilities of the robots they are scouting. If they show they can play defense well in one match, I know that our scouts write that down and bring it to the table during our discussions. So I would say focus on your teams strength and adapt to the match as need be. If this requires your robot to showcase another feature or strategic level of play, then I am sure teams will take note of that.
