Hi Karthik, interesting question...
I can't speak for my team, but I would like to share my own thought on this.
I'm in a different type of competition... and that is... both to adapt/learn and conquer being able to build a robot, and second to learn how to beat the 6 week clock. To me that's the win... It is like bowling... when I bowl I focus all my attention on hitting the mark... keeping my arm straight aligned to a particular board as I follow through to the release of the ball... if I hit or miss my mark... then I leave it up to chance to determine the final outcome. (That advice was passed down to me from someone who was/is pretty good at it).
Ultimately it's like we are all thrown in a deck of cards and shuffled up... it's a game of chance as well as skill... and it's really a matter of adapting to the current situation at hand... if the moment of opportunity arises can we adapt? Adapting is the real win... not only in FRC, but in life as well. Also I think it is important to build good relationships with others while we are there. So since my definition of winning is a bit different... I pick whichever gives the best positive inspiring experience for the team, and so that really is on a case-by-case basis.
