Zone or Man Defense?

I believe that you play man defense against any robot that can only eject the ball from 1 side, where you lock the ball in their robot and take them for a ride across the field, effectively shutting down the opposing alliance until the ball can be freed.

That's what I'm calling man defense. It's not played in any particular zone and can (should) be played all over the field.

Drivers will need to be acutely aware of their machines weaknesses (as well as their opponents weaknesses)
