Zone or Man Defense?

Alright, thank you! So do you think a match would basically look like organized chaos since there are only two balls on the field?

I personally think that because ball defense is going to be difficult to play this year, with possession being kinda sketchy, I believe that robot-robot defense will be more effective than playing defense on the ball.

I think this will be the case for many qualification matches but in eliminations it should look like an assembly line the main problem is going to be alliance partners who are overconfident with their abilities and slow down the rest of the alliance.

I think the matches with basically 6 boxes on wheels will be very interesting! I could definitely see a fast paced cycle in the eliminations. I'm wondering how much stopping power does one robot really have compared to 3 good robots? I feel like a blocker could shut down defense, but keeping from clogging the flow would be interesting. I'm wondering if we will see a strategy of one robot carries and two block for them and they pass off as they go along?

my bet is zone will be the primary style of D

though if you are operating with mechanum the ball D may be feasible
