I didn't say there would be no one on defense, its just going to be a good defensive robot that can score as well or vise versa.

I have to disagree with the all offensive alliance like last year comment. Last year if you sneezed wrong you were penalized so playing any kind of defense was very difficult. That promoted the offensive alliances. This year if you don't have three robots that can score and defend, remember you have a DEFENSIVE PERIOD, you don't have a chance. I think the people with a shooter only mentality have really think about ALL aspects of the game. You can't only be good at one thing in this game and win when you play a team that has balance and strategy.

Re: Who are the better shooters?

I strongly agree with DZDConfusd, as in any sport, a player, (in this case a robot) needs to be able to defend against another scoring player. Imagine football without a defensive line or hockey without defensemen, the game would be boring.

I'm not saying that JUST offensive robots are going to be there. I'm saying that they will be MOSTLY offensive and can play DEFENSE. Because if you can't play defense, then why try and win autonomous? Win autonomous, play DEFENSE and load yourself, then go score and reload again. This was what 135 did at Boilermaker. But they also didn't use there autonomous mode sometimes, and shot there 10 balls without much blocking. Anyhoo I'm just rambling on, and need to go do something more productive.
