Also think of you ranking points and the judges because my bet is that the judges wont conceder defense robots for the inspire award or anything that includes GP.
Be careful in your assumptions about what the judges will or will not award based upon defensive robots and how "unGP" those robots are in your opinion. Additionally, RP's may be low, but the QP's often times make the RP's not matter if you're undefeated.

Indeed, there is a middle ground; it's why we lost the qualifier .
