What just about everyone else said, particularly NagyH.

Maybe this will help: Suppose you've never even heard of Baseball. Here are the rules, how do you play this game to win?

The obvious is "score more runs", but how, exactly?

Now think of how well-refined the strategies in Baseball are. We've known the game for decades, and we understand the nuances of the game, like when it's a good idea to bunt.

Your goal in setting strategy is to figure out how to win the game - not on the surface layer, but getting into some of those nuances, those less-obvious ways of winning. THEN (and ONLY then) do you start designing a robot to do what it takes to win.
