Is defense Key?

[Unglued]

You can't defense everybody.

I dissagree, at curie Q83 865, 842, and 650 were against 65 180 and 1511
no one on our alliance is particularly great, our dumper wasn't working, but we have an awesome drivetrain. none of our alliance parters were high scorers, but we could all climb the ramp.

we defended against 65, 180, and nus the score was1511 effectivly, there were no points scored in autonomouse, before the ramp bonus the score was 2-9 in our opponents favor.

However we got all three robots on our ramp, they got two robots on theirs.

the score would have been 27-19 in our favor, but i beleive 842 for a 10 point oenalty, makinf the final score 17-19

although we lost, it is a great example of how a solid defense combined with ramp climbing abilities can over even the greatest shooters.
I'm not saying a full defense alliance will be champions, but rather at least one defensive robot makes a great alliance. At times we were holding two robots back, so one great defensive robot and two shooters is the ideal alliance.
