Hey guys! I've been looking for a CD forum with a discussion about the best defensive strategies from the 2011 regionals, but there doesn't seem to be one -- so here we are.
At the start of this year, I have to say I wasn't convinced that defense would play a huge rule in this game, due to being able to throw the tubes and the robots being able to safely stay in their zone. Plus the huge penalties for violating the lanes/zones or pinning the robots. But after attending two regionals, I have to say that defense and the interesting defensive rules that have often changed the game in some of our matches.
Have you guys seen any particularly cool defensive moves this year? Any rules that might be utilized to be better at defense? Any interesting strategies?
