Several ideas are out there up for options. Maybe an offense/ defense hybrid bot is the best design?????

Regionals aren't always about individual matches. I'm sure this will happen at some point, but never in eliminations. If you create a good enough defensive bot, it'll be sure to get picked if not get to do the picking. I'm also going to be blunt in saying that most of the poor defense bots I see out there usually start out as an "all around bot". If your going to do defense, do it right. If your going to do offense, go at it with your whole heart. But if you kind of sit in the middle, your usually going to fall short of anything spectacular. There are always a few exceptions, but I've rarely seen a powerhouse offensive team that also plays good defense.

<G49> ROBOTS may not attempt to POSSESS a GAME PIECE that is being POSSESSED by another ROBOT.
I might be wrong, but this just means you can't steal it from them. I don't see where it says you can't knock it out of their manipulator as long as your intention is purely defense and not to take possession of the game piece.
