Re: Defensive Robots/Strategies?

Our team saw the defensive strategy in this game as being similar to Aerial Assist. Both had fairly open fields, and pinning for longer than usual was allowed. What worked very well for us was going across the field at full speed on a 6-CIM drive and hitting opposing robots, then shoving them. It is unclear as to whether this is allowed this year, but a hit to a corner would definitely throw off a team's aim. A hit while placing a gear on the peg could also interfere, as could blocking chokepoints. What I'm trying to say is that we think that harassing opposing robots is better than constantly trying to defend. One idea we also had, which is of questionable legality, is to ram the opposing alliance's airship while a pilot is lifting a gear. If this is allowed, and depending on the construction of the airships, this could cause a pilot to drop a gear.
