A good defensive robot will guard his tower, and prevent the other alliance from capturing it.

How will you guard the tower to prevent capture? In the last 20 seconds it is best not to be in your alliance's courtyard.

With all the protected areas, a good defense is going to require good drivers that know the rules. Smart offensive drivers are going to make full use of the protected areas. Bad defense will rack up more foul points than they save.
