Re: Goal Zone Duration
There is no rule against defending other teams outside of their safety zones, as long as it's not brutal or pinning, so sounds like you guys are clear!
I would advise against deciding to build a purely defensive robot... generally you should be able to add a minibot or simple bottom-level scorer to your robot's ability without compromising defensive capability. If you find in the last week (or at the competition!) that you really can't score points effectively, be glad that you built your robot around those defensive capabilities.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your thoughts about a defensive robot!
