Effectiveness of Defense?

[Akolbi]

I believe that the goalie bot idea is one that was put in to appear tantalizing, but i don't think that it would be very effective at all. you are so pigeonholed into your role as a goalie, you're better off being an offensive bot first, and pulling to defense if you need to.

I think the key to playing defense this year is going to be disrupting the opponents while you are not doing anything offensively. The trick is not to get so pulled into defense that you lose track of what your team is doing offensively. Field coaches are going to need to be very high level thinkers this year and not get sucked into what their robot is doing.
