A Great Defense

Some of the best offense is a great defense. This proved true today at Peachtree District's Dalton Competition. #7 seed alliance (consisting of Capt. 5842, 832, and 1311) defeated #2 seed (Capt. 4516, 1771, and 1414) for one reason - defense.
832 played some mean defense against 1771 to assist in shutting down all high goal capabilities. This means of play was so effective 1771 removed all offensive capabilities from its robot and attempted to defend against 1311 and 832.

1771 did try something unexpected - blocking end game. 1771 successfully blocked 832 from getting to the batter to challenge, and nearly made it back to their own batter.

CD's thoughts on this style of play? Also any thing you planned especially for defense.

Edit: Thank you to nighterfighter for correcting my mistake in assuming 1771's main reason for taking off their arm was defensive capability. From a spectator's POV it seemed as though that was your thought process.

In addition, my apologies for stating their robot had no offensive capabilities, what I meant was they had no abilities to process boulders to score goals. (Or at least that is what it looked like from the stands).

Also to add to my above commentary Dalton's event had a lot of communications issues, which affected both alliances in these matches.

The matches put on by both alliances were exciting and fantastic to watch. Thanks once again to nighterfighter for correcting the information i had posted above.
