Re: No Team Should have to Resort to a D-bot (and how to avoid doing so)

When you consider the fouls that are in place for this game, a brick-bot likely isn't going to do very well in this game; a robot that gets blocked as it gets closer to the hoops to score will just retreat to the safety of the key. Playing defense on them there won't work as well as you might hope, as touching them gives the other team points and, as per the rules, their robot can be taller than yours in their scoring zone.

If the brick-bot would like to block another robot as it crosses the bridges with a payload of balls for scoring, they're SOL there as well, because touching a robot while it is touching its alliance's bridge gives it points too.

All in all, brick-bots will do poorly this year. They are not a good idea and all teams should aspire to not build one.
