Re: How Hard is FIRST Stronghold?

This game is definitely harder than Aerial Assist, because there was a wide open field in AA and every point (except the auto mobility bonus) was from doing something with the ball. The game was about one thing.

It is also harder than Recycle Rush, because you have to worry about defense again.

It is slightly harder than ultimate ascent, because UA had no obstructions on the field apart from the pyramid, and the goals are smaller, though the climb is easier because you can do it in one cycle.

It is about as hard as Rebound Rumble. Obstructions (somewhat more mandatory than RR), small goals (somewhat easier than RR), ball pickup all but mandatory in both, some protection against defense when shooting in both, fairly difficult endgame in both.

That's as far back as I go with first hand experience, so I won't go into further details, but this does seem to be harder than half to three-quarters of the previous FRC games. It seems a bit harder because the previous three appear to have been easier than the median.
