I believe mini bots are going to be a HUGE part of this game. If your robot will be able to play defense effectively and have a great mini bot, then this isn't a bad idea. You'd need to be able to hold your ground. It is true defense is limited this year with the pinning rule and no entering scoring zones, but defense will still be key. You could also block people from coming out of their lanes when they go and get their tubes. However, you have to score to win the game. If you can have both an effective tube manipulator and mini bot, offense is most likely the best strategy.
