Go to Post For any coaches weary of choosing human players this year because you're worried they might lose their cool mid-game, a good indicator of someones ability to keep focused is their attitude while playing video games. - BradMello [more]

Re: Defense: Pushing and Blocking

This year's game will be a very dynamic one, in which the strategies that you start with will not necessarily be the ones you stick with. Because there are so many different ideas on the best way to actually win, and/or prevent the other alliance from winning, we will see some very interesting strategy this year.

For the past two years, my team has always focused on solid offense. As great as a good defense is, if you can put up six tetras per match, or score twenty poof balls into the center goal in ten seconds, you are at a much better advantage. I love amazing offensive dominations; as the amount of creative engineering and design and thought that goes into them is unbelievable. After all, why are teams like 71 and 111 held in such high regard among the FIRST community?

Defense wins matches. Offense wins competitions.
