[FTC]: Defense robots and competition
Hello I was wondering, why are there a ton of defense robots and not very many offence robots, why would teams try to stop other robots that are doing what the game is intended for? Also if you spend all of you time defending that means you are not scoring any points meaning hardly any chance of winning and hardly any ranking points. So that presents one more challenge for offence robots, to make the robot robust and most-likely geared down a bit, but I would like to hear your comments about the matter.
Thanks
~Derrick
