Re: Best way to estimate the best defense bot

We've found that generally speaking, scouting for a 'good' defensive team is a factor of a couple things.

Obviously, the first thing you require is a good drive train.

Next in our experience is how well that team has worked with us. We get a chance to be with most teams in the qualification matches, and we know most other teams from previous experience. How receptive their drive-coach and drive team is, and how well they can carry out a plan, is immensely important to us.

This year, modifying any robot to block is fairly easy while keeping a low cg. That plus a smart drive team and coach, plus a nice 10 point hang will get you on just about every defensive pick-list out there.
