Ultimate Ascent - Most Difficult Ever? Too difficult?

[rick.oliver]

I agree that this challenge is the most difficult to solve completely as compared to what I've seen in my 11 seasons with FRC. I will not be surprised to see teams which find a complete solution. We applied the strategy development process which Karthik trains; it drove us to a decision early.

We evaluated the scoring options and have opted to focus on scoring discs in the high goal and hang for 10 points as our highest priority and then work in the ability to pick from the floor and score high as weight and space allow.

The additional 20 or 30 points (if the GDC decides to increase the value) did not seem worth the effort and risks.

I am really looking forward to seeing all of the solutions. I think this is going to become my favorite game of all time.
