Is Defense key to this game?

That is utterly amazing. It would be even more awesome if someone was able to catch it on video.. anyone know where you can possibly find it??

I salute to that human player.

It happened several times in NJ. We also had robots ringed on their flags-including us!. 103 was ringed with 2 tubes at one point.

Defense really helped the fast placers by taking the pressure off the bots as they tried to settle tubes into place on the swaying rack.

In one round our alliance nearly lost (4-4 tie) because of defensive robots bullying us all over the place.
The last second drop of a tube tied it up and preserved our lead in the field. But when the rack starts swaying you start praying!
