You still have 70% of your pushing power, clearly they have more, but they will now have to be pushing you around so they can score. And your wall is still up there in the way.

If they jump into the safe zone to make their shot without interference, stand at the edge and hope their shots dont go over your wall. Robots that launch from the 60" point will most likely get over you.

Standing right in front of the hoops you cover the 2 point and 1 point hoops. In order to move you out they have to push you to the side and then if they are the bot trying to make the shot now head back out away from the hoops. Move back in and block once more!
