There are several levels of play and a strategy for each.

1st level is the average regional eliminations. Where most teams do not have an auto mode and even moving can be hard for some.

2nd level is the final rounds of the regional, where most do well and most have some sort of auto mode.

3rd level is the division level finals at Atlanta. Where all do well and all have auto mode.

In 2007 we had the privilege of winning our division and going onto Einstein. That is where you see the exceptional teams do exceptional things, like shoot in auto mode. Not many can do it, maybe less than 1 out of 100, but things like that get you to Einstein.

Where in the first level it might now be worth trying to shoot at opponents, better shots later. But at the 3rd level that might be your best chance to shoot and make it.

Just some thoughts, I do appreciate this discussion.
