Re: Team Update #6
I completely agree (as I stated earlier) that defense just needs to be played in the middle of the field, and played to delay them getting to the scoring zone. I don't think it will be hard with good defense to double or triple the amount of time it takes a robot to traverse the field and score.
I am still concerned with the idea that if you get pushed into an opponent's robot in the lane or in the scoring zone you get a red card. For example, you get a tube and come out of the lane toward the middle of the field (side note: I think that against a defender coming out of the lane along the edge of the field will make it very tough to get to your scoring zone) and the defending robot blocks and shoves you back, pushing you back into their scoring zone and one of their allies.
