I think strategy was hugely important in qualifiers because defnse was required when you didn't have 3 scoring robots. However, when you have 3 scoring robots for eliminations, strategy was score score score, because who can play defense on 3 scoring robots. I liked that the GDC made autonomous a challenge for those teams returning, to score, however, kept it simple, considering any rookie trying for traction control would already be up to their heads in programming. The autonomous mode also required some strategy to be productive and their were many succesful ones. I feel that the moving targets added to drivers requiring pratice and skill, another reason why 3 (maybe more) of the Michign teams were in Einstein finals. I know of 217, 68, and 67 all having a multitude of practice because of this, please correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: I'm probably thinking a lot more, however, I'm too tired to remeber because of the Atlant insomnia.
