Re: Defense
Defense is always important. Some regionals will have teams picked strictly for defense. You likely wont see this at Championships.
I reccomend to every team that I work with that they build a robot with a powerful but manuverable drive train (6-8 wheels) then you can always play defense if the situation warrents it. An Average or below average scorer with a great drive train is an incredibly valuable second pick or alliance partner.
The best example of building a robot to play offense that is also capable of switching to being a shut down defender is 177 over the last 4 or 5 years, it isn't a coincidence that they always seem to make it onto Einstein.
