Re: Strategy vs. Execution

This is way to big of a generalization. FRC strategy is so complex, trying to sum it up on a scale from 1-10 just doesn't work. Are you talking about how many points you are going to score? What about how desirable a robot of that type will be to a picker? Or is this a strategy to try and become a picker yourself? Are you going to be able to do other things besides this one strategy? How defendable is it? Will designing for it inhibit your defensive abilities? Or is it possible that this strategy could augment your defensive abilities? If you fail to get it done, will you be able to easily modify your robot to execute a simpler strategy instead? How much of a risk is it? What is the skill level of teams that will be attending your regionals? What is your goal for robot's performance this year?

Seriously, there are so many factors involved, you can't make decision based on a scale. While a robot that is a mediocre top goal shooter/catcher this year might not be desirable, a robot that is mediocre at balancing in 2012 could have co-op balanced their way to glory.
