Winning Defensive Allaince?
Ok it ask come up numerous times that an allinace that sacrifices a member to play defense is basically shooting themsleves in the foot. I pose this to you. I'm willing to bet that the winning allaince will have two offensive robot and a robot that is an AWESOME defender.
If two capable teams say "let us handle the offense, and you cover the other allaince" I would let them. Let me put it this way. If 56 and 71, and I were on the same allaince and 56 and 71 said they wanted me to run defense "WHY WOULDN'T I" I know that they are fully capable to handle things on their own. Take teams 11 and 25 for instance (ok I'm a little biased but these are the only two that fit my point) Teams 11 and 25 are two teams that can push anyone around the field They can still cap if need be but their true strenght lies in their beastly drive train. You pair 56, 71, and 11 or 25 together and you have a championship medal around your neck. Everyone is assuming that one robot can only take on one other robot, But as proven at NJ a good defensive robot can keep all three opponents occupied is they're good enough.
So keep in mind that in the elims you get to pick your partners. So their defense isn't going to be some run of the mill defense they're putting up. It's going to be a defense that you pick out yourself.
Just something to consider in these next 5 weeks. Let me know what you think.
