Vetting defensive picks

[pmattin5459]

One thing I have to add here on the subject of cheesecaking: I don't think it'll be too useful this year. The best defensive robots will probably have the wider config, which is also only 2 ft tall. This doesn't really give you much room to put in a blocker, and even the 3 ft config won't be tall enough to block any shots, especially with the angle teams will be shooting at. Defense is likely to be based more on trying to hit targets at key points in their cycle and getting in their way when their driver's can't see their robot.
