I also agree that the competition is more of a race to the top of the ramp. Whoever can get to the top first has the opportunity to knock all the bins into their zone at the outset, which is a HUGE advantage. This puts all hte pressure on the other alliance to move the bins back to their scoring zone. Also, don't foget the ten seconds of human time, which can be used effectively. (My team has a really cool idea....) But the most time is still during human control which is 1:45. A lot can change during that time, so its really difficult to predict.
As for the strategy making, the idea seems cool, and we tried strategizing last year during the match. We had someone in the driver station keeping score to help guide the driver on how aggressive or defensive we should drive. That got quite confusing, and i think this year would be even worse, especially trying to look over the field and count stacks and multiply and add robots on top and what is a stack and what isnt.....
