Re: To strategize, or not to strategize? That is the question...

Err, you need to know what aspect of the game you want to design a robot to perform, otherwise you are building without an objective.

You should come up with at least a strategy of how you want your robot to score points, otherwise, there is no purpose of even building a robot, since you'd basically be putting parts together with no idea what to do with the thing once it is finished.

Strategy is important to the game. I have no idea what you are attempting to convey with your post - it seems you consider yourself an expert in the field of robot design, and I highly doubt you can design your robot in 24 hours.

I think that if a team wants to be successful, they need to consider how they want thier robot to fit in the overall strategy of the game, how they want to score points, and finally, how they want to play it. This considers the game and what points would be the best option for a team to try and score.

And the hand analogy was meaningless: the human hand was designed to do a multitude of tasks, including manipulating objects, so in a sense, they were deisgned to stack bins.
