maybe descoring

This would be interesting and cool to implement technologically, given that I suspect they'll stick with some sort of automated scoring (or at least quick with not many extra volunteers).

Never gonna let you down

New endgame... Robots can climb onto a partner and be driven around a circuit and across the finish line!

i noticed that too maybe its 1v1v1 and that other tack represents a goal to score in

That to me implies some sort of control aspect to the game, either over a game piece or field object.

If we're insistent on FIRST reusing a game element two that come quickly to mind that fit the bill are king of the hill (Stack Attack :ahh: ) and trackballs (as already suggested by Nick).

What if its like king of the hill and theres scoring periods if its three minutes with three alliances maybe 1 minute blue has to score while not giving up control of the goal (the goal being the fourth tack) then 2nd minute red thn 3rd minute yellow it seems fun

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

so other noted this but that bottom left tack looks flat what if its a 1v1v1 yellow blue red and its like king of the hill or a capture point game where tht flatter tack is the capture point tht one alliance has to obtain while the other two try to capture it sounds pretty fun to me and the never gonna let you go lyric would play into that capture point game

For some reason, I had the idea in my head that there would be some sort of target shaped like the Bohr model of the atom since it's its 100-year anniversary in 2013.

blue = oxygen?
red = hydrogen??

yellow = never gonna' give you up electron (Intermolecular Coulombic Decay)???

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

The field will be divided into 4 areas. The red and blue pushpins are where the endgame takes place. The red thumbtack is where robots get their scoring pieces from. The yellow pushpin is where the coopertition part takes place. The rest of the field, is covered in water. (Well, maybe not that, but it will probably be fairly open.)

I would honestly laugh if Dean Kamen said that while he was on the podium at kickoff.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

With the inclusion of an infrared remote in FIRST Choice, as well as the line in the song "never gonna run around and desert you," it seems like an overdrive connection.

Or it could be a red herring, of course.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Alright lets work through this. Never going to give you up was a music video that appeared in 1986, the same year that Denmark won their first gold medal in the summer Olympics in the javelin throw. Javelins were first used by the romans to counteract their opponents calvary. The term "cavalry" originates from the dinosaur "cavelirous ursa". So the only logical thing the game could be is.. Robot dinosaur battle.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

I don't know if this has already been discussed but in the song, rick repeats

"We know the game and we're gonna play it"

Updated previous game? maybe
