A design is only as good as the strategy it executes.

And I would go even farther to say that all designs (for the same strategy) are equal in FRC. The only difference is how well a team executes a design. A team who does a simple task very well will do much better than a team who does a complicated task not too well.

So I would say that aimlessly designing robots is a useless task if you do not account for how your design accomplishes your strategy.
