Of course if the center guy is not doing the 7 then even if they block the center line they are still down quite a bit after auto.

If you watch 987's midfield pick up though you notice that drive relatively slowly while picking up the firsbees and have to make several turns and get back into position. Aside from just getting there and blocking the pick up, the only thing the defensive bot has to do is bump 987 just hard enough that they don't perfectly line up when they get back to the pyramid and they won't make the shots. After watching their video their routine is incredibly fast thought so I doubt many teams will be able to stop them, possibly only a couple during eliminations.
