Defensive strategies do not mean that the 'defensive robot' isn't scoring as well.

Consider 2 robots running around the field at 12+'/sec and 1 "gently bumps" the others corner and turns them into the wall. Thats a defensive play that will be seen again and again.

Or a robot shooting an opponents ball 10+' outside the playing field. it may take 15 seconds for the volunteers to corral the ball and get it back into play where that 'defensive bot' may have just run a lap and is ready to field the opponents ball again.

Or in the last 10 seconds of a match a 'defensive bot' knocking off 2 opponent track balls off the overpass stoping 24 points from being scored.

Are you sure you can outscore your opponent each and every match? I think defensive bots ... especially since there is less scoring objects than alliance robots ... will play a huge role in the game.
