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

Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.

But a Brave Little Toaster (like the Kitbot with no further work except to make it legal) is not necessarilythe most effective defensive robot. Sure, it's got 6 weeks of driving... but not anything to set it apart defensively.

Defense is unique for this game:

A D-Bot can push offense bot almost everywhere, even within the area under the hoop. That is going to change how many bots score

Unlike last year's game, since there is a bump in the middle of the arena, d-bot is pretty much limited to be on one side. I can't imagine some d-bot trying to go both ways.
