Re: Ultimate Ascent - Most Difficult Ever? Too difficult?

I agree that this challenge is one of the hardest yet, but isn't that the point of FIRST? If the objective is to train students for a realistic work experience, then this game is perfect. In the real world, problems don't always have easy answers and long deadlines, and you have to work past that.
In short, bravo FIRST, and thank you for a very difficult challenge.
