Hi Everyone,

This is not Bill typing. Bill was taken ill last Saturday and is resting comfortably in the hospital waiting for test results. Kickoff will happen on schedule and the FRC events will run as planned, but here at FRC we’re a man short and a bit off balance. Bill will return to blogging in the near future and if there is any breaking news before he gets back to full strength I’ll be sure to let you know.

39 days until Kickoff
See you there!

It's a hint.

Hmm if it was a clue I would say, 3v3 and one team gets disabled or something like that. And it would make sense since kickoff is just over a month away.:rolleyes:

But since part of me is saying that it isn't a clue. Thoughts and prayers are with you Bill, and hope that you get back to full health soon!:)

I'm very sorry to hear of the sudden turn of events for you, Mr. Miller. Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery.

Ya'll take care up there in FRC land. :)

I hope that Bill is OK, but.....I have to think that this is some type of hint.

Get well Bill.

I'm pretty sure that this is not a hint.

Us FRC folks are just too used to picking apart every post he makes, along with Dave Lavery's posts.

Give it a rest, he's probably actually sick.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Bill.

If it's a hint, then I'd suppose it means will will have to lift something heavy with smaller than usual robots.

Get well soon Bill!

If it's a clue, I'd say 4v4 one robot disabled would be more likely, 4v4 theory going with the "everyone gets 10 matches" statement from before.

I wish Bill well soon!

Bill team 2775 hopes you have a speedy recovery.

On a side note: if this is supposed to be a game hint FIRST has hit a new low.

Just to keep the focus on the important thing, the news is just that and nothing more.

Get well Bill, we need our leader!

Get well soon Bill. Team 2108 is keeping you in our prayers.

For those wanting to find a hint in anything/everything... Please have some respect and start a different thread.

Sending get well wishes on this site to Bill is better than the alternative.... imagine 2 or 3 thousand get well cards being delivered....save some trees!

So I start my effort.....

Bill Get well as soon as possible----we are selfish we need your guidance....

isn't it great to be needed!

We don't even know who wrote that, how do you know they wouldn't use the phrase off balance?

I am sure he is sick, however, who really uses the term 'off balance'. I mean, maybe some other vocab would have been appropriate.

Maybe there is a giant teeter totter in the middle, when one robot is on it, i controls the teeter totter and gets x amount of points. But it is disabled since it can not move
Get well soon bill!:] :D

Guys just quit it please, its quite disrespectful to take someone's health this lightly. Give it a break for a few days and go back to guessing ridiculous game hints in another thread.

Please and thank you.

Hahaha, I guess this is Chief Delphi and one can't see a blog post without assuming there's a hint in there somewhere, which I'm not saying there isn't...

It must've something that swept Bill off his feet if he's in the hospital. :(

Team 1261 also hopes that Bill has a speedy recovery and we look forwarding to reading his return blog post soon!!!
