Re: Defense

Our team has been debating this alot.. i personally feel that a good defensive bot with a outstanding minibot will be better then a robot with a great arm and an ok bot. Offence has to travel the length of the field if you have to have it fed to you, or around half maybe if you are able to throw them over (and have a good human thrower) so a defensive robot would at least lengthen the time of travel, which could really hurt them... or you could puppy guard a robot and keep them in there scoring zone, this takes up space for the other teams to get in and score.
