Re: Offence vs. Defence.

IMO, Defense is something you play - not something that you necessarily design a robot for.

Arguably, any robot with a robust and powerful drive train can play effective defense this year. I'd say if you were going to build a robot with the intentions of playing defense, I'd at least incorporate some sort of basic, even primitive scoring mechanism so that should the need arise, you can score.

This opinion is based on my experiences in 2009, when we built a very very capable offensive robot, just ask anyone who saw it in action, but we were know to play devastating defense at times.
