I agree with joe here. what if you can't get a goal? then you're kinda stuck. say even you go against a two goal grabbing robot who has the same strategy. who'd win? when designing this years MOE, we wanted to guarantee a draw match if we played against ourselves. we had to play against ourselves when MOE met Sparky at Richmond. unfortunately for us, our alliance got dq'd for interfering with the bottom of the top plate because our gripper deploy method didn't account for the necessary pressure (a slight problem when you don't think of all the possibilities). this turns from a question of best strategy to one of who is fastest and who has the most traction. that balance is essential for the success of that strategy. say even you're the fastest robot at your regional. you get to the goals first, have control, get all the balls loaded up, and are in your end zone the way you want to be. if you play against a robot who has more traction and better torque, then chances are, one of your goals is going with him instead. along with the question of best strategy, you need to think of the most likely way to accomplish it.
anyway, just chiming in my two cents
