Does anyone know when the offical game hint for FRC comes out? I know that it traditionally comes out around Christmas but I wondered if anyone know the exact date.

As far as I know, they have never announced the hint date in the past, to keep us on our toes.

[Chief Samwize]

Alright thanks.

Every year someone asks the same question around this time. :cool:

Usually somewhere between Christmas and New Year's. Last year, it was a day or two (or maybe more) early, but there are no guarantees that that will happen this year, especially since the game was figured out before kickoff (even though nobody knew for sure).

Depends when they start working on the game on Boxing Day (see third possibility here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=637302&postcount=16).) :yikes:

I could see them telling us when they would release the hint, and then releasing it a week early

or a week late lol just to screw with us.

or better yet have dave post the hint on delphi so we aren't entirely sure what he is talking about or if it is a real hint or not(as he talks in riddles a lot) and then re-release it in english a week later lol :p

[dtape]

That would be tricky and very interesting

That could result in a mass rebellion which would include such rebellious acts as:

angry CD posts
an international mob outside Dave's house armed with torches, pitchforks, and random shop tools
robots programed to follow Dave around haunting him (using his Hawian shirts instead of the green light)
and the blowing up of Dave's secret moon-sized KK factory




:D

I'm gonna stock up on my torches, pitchforks, and random shop tools....starting now.

Oh, and I'm gonna need a few extra arms to wield them all...Daarrnnnn youuuuu Dave!!!!!

I am still sticking with Jell-o, Bananas, and Inflatable clowns. I just have a hunch.

What? You mean again?

[Libby K]

Seriously guys, he already posted it.

...wait, which one was it again?

Maybe that's this year's game-building some extra robotic arms the human player can use in a rebellion

[Libby K]

I think you may be on to something there...I mean, Dean did show us all his arm project at championships...

:p

[Zyik]

I have some extra pitchforks if someone needs one.

Edit: Is lending out pitchforks to be used by an angry mob considered gracious professionalism? Cause my Grandma would be proud.
