Re: How Hard is FIRST Stronghold?
^ +1. What Gus said. 
My experience goes back a little further. I think Stronghold is the hardest FRC game we've seen since 2004. Its autonomous challenges are significantly harder than any I can recall. As Dr. Joe says, there will be many matches that begin with one or more tortugas -- so teleop will often become an opportunity for drive teams to improvise under pressure. To play the hand they've been dealt, so to speak.
Scouting will be the hardest we've ever seen, because of the factors above and because of the number of possible variations of defenses.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
