How much Defense do YOU think will be played in Steamworks?

[ImMoMo]

Hey,

We were going over some of the strategies that may be viable for 2017, and initially we had read the rulebook incorrectly. We were operating on the basis that there would be minimal defense. Upon further inspection, it became clear that playing defense was prohibited just in the retrieval zones and the rope area.

So now we're reading the rules again, and trying decide on a drivetrain that will provide a good degree of motion and be able to resist defense.
(Maybe grossHopper/some other drop drive train)

So how much defense do you think will be played this year?
