Go to Post It's not easy dealing with the reality that others aren't as passionate as we are and that the process may be slower than we want it to be - but it gives me plenty of time to think and prepare. - JaneYoung [more]

Why not both? With 6 robots on the field, maneuvering can often become a challenge. Its completely possible for 1 robot to stall(not completely stop) 2 robots to cut their opponents score in half. I've seen one robot take on 3 and held them in a corner for a full 30 seconds without ever pinning one of them. Its actually easier with more robots if you can just get them in a semi-enclosed environment(ie the corner).
