Re: [FTC]: Defense robots and competition

I personally have seen the majority of the matches played, from the competitions I have gone to have alot of defensive strategy especially in automode surprisingly. Faster robots would play defense by driving and disrupting the trailer positions causing the teams auto to miss the 5 preloads. Our robot specifically is a "defensive bot" as one would call it but we geared down so our autonomous mode would be very accurate not for playing defense. But the pushing power has come through for us in many occasions in the past and in this season. However future iterations of our robot will have a 1:1 ratio or something very close to 1:1 for reasons of a slightly faster robot and still an accurate autonomous.
