The tubes are thrown around easily on the ground if someone tries to knock it away from you when you're picking up off the floor. I'm not saying it won't happen. A few teams will indeed do 7 consistantly. But, thats about it.

Well... at the '05 LA regional we played the alliance of 330 and two near identical robots. They were pure offense and we limited their scoring a lot, but lost because our alliance was pure defense (we used our arm for defense). In the champ finals, where defense was minimal, a significantly higher number of tetras were scored.

When it comes to the championships, there will probably less defense than at the regional level and the level of play will be higher. But, because of the ramp bot bonus there will probably be more defense than '05.

I really can't make up my mind about this... I guess we won't know for sure until the regionals...
