There is no such thing as a team's "best", in any absolute sense.
There is no single, universally-agreed goal in an FRC tournament, so unless local entropy takes a sudden and surprising dive during a tournament, there won't be a "best" strategy/action/tactic/etc. for each/all team(s) in a tournament to employ.
Additionally, teams' robots, drivers, scouts, pit crews, parts inventories, travel budgets, etc. are different, meaning that an approach that might give one team a high probability of achieving their goal, might be a terrible approach for another team trying to achieve that same goal in the same circumstances.
There can sometimes be unambiguous things for a specific team with a particular robot to do, once that team has chosen a goal, but even then at some point in a tournament the team usually faces a selection of paths involving plenty of unknowns.
It's all shades of gray.
