Re: scouting

"By my experience, the question isn't whether to pick another offensive robot or a defensive robot based on the metrics you find. That is answered through your own unique strategy to the game."

I'm really curious on this one.
Say for example, you are the second team picking and the first team already has the two best offensive robots. For your second and last pick, do you choose an offensive robot that is significantly less effective at offense than you and your first pick or do you pick a defensive bot that is shown as effective at shutting out one of the two best bots on the first team (let's assume everyone's minibot is equivalent).
If you haven't collected tangible defensive based metrics, how would you know whether your unique strategy should be changed based on the available picks?
