Go to Post I GET that FIRST is about more than winning on the field. BUT... ...it is my experience that the great programs of the FIRST world almost always build on a foundation of competitive robots. Success on the field begets success in other realms. - Joe Johnson [more]

We were in a match against an alliance containing BOTH 51 and 68. Lost by two points with a first-time driver who had never seen action in a real match before (someone else had tried driving our first two matches). I was happy with the result. We didn't play too much defense that match - I DO recall our driver playing keep-away from 68 the better portion of the last minute or so. Does it count as defense if you get them to chase you with a full hopper and they never end up catching you to score?

Most fun match involving our team that I watched as a pure spectator all year. Hopefully, we've found our new driver for the next three years.

The following match, we did play defense against 217 because, well, they are 217. Kept them in the corner with a full hopper for quite a while, but they were able to juuuuust squeeze by with enough time to score a few. Lost that match by one point. 3 points were the difference between 7th and 22nd. What could have been.
