I would have to vote for team 42's forklift in 1996, they completely wreaked havoc for teams that were designed to score balls in the upright goal. It was a definite Strategy design Milestone.
As a runner up I would have to vote for team 188 in 2001, who was designed to balance two goals on the bridge while squeezing two big balls in between them allowing them to score all four.

These two strategies showed what could be accomplished by thinking completely outside the box.
