Well, i'm inclined to disagree with that. This year we acted out the game, although we did put everyone on rolling chairs. It really did show us alot of things, first off: 10 seconds is no time at all; secondly: it is very easy to defend a shooter, a little tap and the thing is completely off its mark (which is why we had retractable wheels; other successful teams countered this in other ways). Lastly, we learned that the team winning auton could "control" the total number of balls on the field during the other team's offensive period.
I will agree with the fact that if the acting isn't done properly, then it will hurt the strategy.
These subtle things we learned really did impact our strategy, for the better.
