You are correct, sir! This is how it works, and this is what will happen
this year.

The challenge will be unknown to all teams, and teams are asked not to talk
about it. Each event will have a different challenge, including the state
tournament.

The only thing the judges are looking for is how your team functions as a
team, not how well they do the challenge or whether they complete it.

worked as a team.  Completing the challenge, to my understanding, is not as
important as how the team functions.
