You are right about the defense--almost. If a quick defense opportunity came along, it was taken--anything from knocking tetras off another robot's top to capping the opponents home row. Read my signature to find out the type of defense that was played every match.
This is exactly right. We won our division, and our first round on Einstein thanks solely to our strategy of getting rows (and we tried for them in the finals, too). This game was all about scoring as many tetras as you can while making as many rows as you can (and trying to limit your opponents' rows). If capping en mass, and not caring about rows was the way to win then our robot would have been capping 12 per match on 2 goals, instead of 6-9 per match on 5 different goals. Every robot in the final round was made for "blitzing" and attempting to get/disrupt rows.
