Re: Serious question about defense No Flaming!

I hope teams use this strategy against us. I will tell my driver to spend the entire match pushing the blocking robot. All we have to do is move it enough to get ourselves touching the zone (and still be touching the other bot) and, BAM! instant 30 point penalty. That is the equivalent of three rows or ten tetras. If you are going against the ThunderChickens then please, please, please use this strategy against us.

I am somewhat being sarcastic, but I think the "sit and block" strategy is a really bad strategy. With the size of penalties, FIRST has made it obvious that this is a scoring game. There will be defense, but the game is designed to have the defense occur elsewhere on the field.
