Re: Defense is Back in a Big (Good) Way

Another question that I've been thinking about: Can a defensive robot be a first round pick? An early first round pick? Usually the alliance captain will be good at breaching, and in deeper events, the alliance captains will be good at breaching and scoring. There are a ton of teams that can breach effectively that could be picked up in round 2. So if there's an elite defender on the board are they worth a top pick? Let's assume this defender can climb and play spot offense (not highly effectively) as well.

I would say yes because an elite defender can prevent a capture, and a capture can be done by an elite robot being fed by a breaching 2nd pick. If you capture, and prevent a capture, you basically win.
