Both honestly - it depends on what job you plan on playing in the match. If you're going with an offensive strategy, you should probably focus on how to best work with your teammates to maximize your score. If you're going with a defensive strategy, I'd largely ignore what your teammates are doing (but still be ready to help run a gear or two if necessary, or know when to drop playing defense all together to help close the gap in scoring.

What other things could we focus on other than scoring as many points as possible?
When running a cycle, can you afford to also play hit and run defense? Does it look like an opponents robot is harassing a high volume shooter on your alliance, and can you assist them (block the defender) so they can score?

What data points (other than the amount of points a team scores) help your drivers perform as a team player and formidable defensive opponent?
Scoring position - Do they appear to only be able to shoot from a single spot? Can I delay, or even prevent, them from getting to their spot?
Cycle Time - How long is their cycle? Does adding a few seconds to it make a difference? This year it might be the difference between starting the 4th rotor or not.
Coach - Your coach needs to have match awareness. Score call outs, strategy tweaks on the fly, that sort of thing.

Quote:
Do you think game-to-game strategies are even worth it? Will other teams listen to our strategies say "this is what we think is best"?
Game-to-game strategies tend to be less important during early qualification matches or if you're a strictly offensive team, but goes up as you scout matches because you can start tuning your game against your specific opponents.

I imagine other teams would listen if you input on match strategy - nothing gets you on a DNP list like being uncooperative.
