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.

They will be observed and evaluated by the judges as to how they worked as a team.  Completing the challenge, to my understanding, is not as important as how the team functions.
