1675 Game Analysis and Strategic Design

[nuclearnerd]

This is great. I just cross referenced it with our own kick-off guide, and it matches really well, even has some points we've overlooked.

I especially love the "Robot Archetypes" and "Classic Matches" slides. We always go through these, but we've never categorized them like you have. I also love you you extend the design guide into the competition season, as other strategies are revealed.

You might consider adding a brief slide on how to build a weighted decision matrix under "picking a concept".

Thanks!

We didn't include anything about a weighted matrix simply because we don't use one anymore. We used to use a matrix several years ago but most years we went against the result of the matrix and built something else. Granted, those were not our best years, from a performance viewpoint....

Wunderbar! I plan to draw heavily on this for my strategy presentation tomorrow.

Great Presentation!! 291 will definitely use this on kickoff! We've made some critical bad decisions the past few years regarding initial strategy. Your strategy suggestions will be especially useful to us.

Thanks!

Great. Now I have to re-work my WHOLE strategy presentation to integrate all your great stuff. Thanks.

But seriously, this is excellent. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, Kevin! Lots of useful info, and a good presentation of some key strategy and design principles that are often overlooked (by rookies and veterans alike).
