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

I'm not saying that strategy isn't an important role, because I know for a fact it is. All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if one side is biased or not. If this was actual FRC game is would be a huge issue, but since we're CADing robot and not actually competing with them, it doesn't matter how biased the field is towards certain alliances. You could design a 29" high robot that scores in the 2 pt goals, and state in your strategy brief that it goes the fastest way possible depending on which alliance your on.
