WOT or the Weighted Objectives Table is a great tool for determining your robot's stratigy. In order to make this process easier for teams I drew up an Excel file which does all the calculations for you. Hopefully this encourages teams to use the WOT in the future.

The inner workings of WOT are highlighted in John V Neuns paper "Using the Engineering Design Process for Design of a Compitition robot". If you don’t already know the WOT design process would strongly recommend reading his paper (located below) before even looking at the Excel documents.

In addition, I've also included a drivetrain example for your benifit. (The example is meant to highlight how to use the excel document; the results are not necessarily accurate, or my opinions.)
