If their denied access to the tower . . .
If they are denied access to the tower they will tear you apart by scoring. They are deadly accurate from the midfield and their drivetrain modifications before Michigan State Championship made them as fast and as agile as any other robot. While you stick your robot in the tower to keep them away, they are free to score and your alliance is down a robot.

I don't want to turn this into a 469 thread, but simply denying them a tower doesn't win you the match. Not by a long shot.

That said, I fully expect to see 469+1114 against 67 and whomever comes out of Newton with them.
