Re: How do you decide your strategy?

In part, I help the students ensure that they are developing a strategy and not something else.

In my parlance, a strategy answers this question, "In situation X, we will do action Y.", for all useful values of X. An example is, when to bunt.

A strategy is not a single script for what to do during the entire match. It is rules for what to decide to do moment by moment as the context around your robot/team constantly changes. no single script (or small handful of scripts) is likely to be adequate.
