Indeed, there is a middle ground; it's why we lost the qualifier  . |
When I typed my last message I was in a hurry and I don't think having a middle ground is why you lost, and you cant blame it all on the robot because everyone that has gone to a competition knows that there are alot of things that can and most likely will go wrong or something didn't work right or there could have been a lot of good robots but just because you lost doesn't mean that the middle ground is a bad choice because if you have an Only offence robot then you can get blocked easy = hardly any points and a Only defense robot might block good robots but wont score at all = NO points so how ever you look at it you cant JUST have a offence robot or JUST a defense robot and win (unless you have a good partner) there needs to be a middle ground and you need to have a good robust robot that can score well, and having good drivers really helps, that is what I consider the middle ground and you can't blame it if you lose.
