Defense is an awesome part of every game. FIRST may not like them but, last year team 3553 was one of two really well design defensive bots and world championships. Also I do not believe defensive bots make the game any less watchable. Unless the defensive bot is so amazing at its task as to shut down all scoring. Such a bot would be awesome to see in action, because they are going to win everything.
