"We know the game and we're gonna play it" 1:13

"Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you" This might be related to some of the things that we might have to do in the game. It also kind of reminds me of the minibot from the 2011 competition.

This might seem to be useless, but I think the time has something to do with it. 0:23 1:13 both have 3s in it. Not only that, the picture from the hint is precisely at 3:00. So this might be related to the fact that there could be a third alliance. I've also realized that there are a lot of spinning and flips in the video, all movements of rotation. So rotation or spinning could be a major aspect of the 2013 game. I think there might be some other hidden messages in the time somewhere. I might be over thinking things, but who knows :P

And the 3rd hint was released on 12/21/12, aka 3/3/3

They're pushing it so hard as to wonder whether it's not purely a distraction.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

I did some more looking into SEE Science Center. Relevant to the threes that are coming up a lot this year, there's a "Mill Number 3" right below it on Google Maps. Also, they just finished up the "Lego Millyard Project" featuring a model with over 3 million Lego bricks and, get this, it was sponsored by FIRST. Lego also turned 80 this year

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Two years ago, minibots were introduced for the game. The line "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down" may be saying that it's them bringing back old game elements. The minibots were introduced as an integration of the other FIRST Leages, and some teams got FTC teams to build them a minibot. Maybe we've got more integration, but with FLL. FLL is also the third FIRST league.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

The most recently released hint wasn't technically labeled number three.... by definition of the # symbol, it was labeled "pound 3" Take that as you wish.... :D

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Just had something. On the previous hint about the hint, there was something about 12/21 being significant. The "end" of the world. Could it be that the hint has something to do with endgame? If so, it WOULD be like the FTC game, where it would be a challenge about lifting. Holding weight. And with the emphasis on 3, it could be a mix-up of Rack and Roll (Rick Roll'd) and Triple Play.

Yes, because I'm sure many FTC teams got involved in the designs of the minibots. I don't know how many teams actually used an FTC team to help design their minibots, but I'm sure you could count them on a handful of hands.

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

In the song, it says that they know the game, and we're going to play it. What if it is all reversed, what if they are hinting, you can NEVER know the game.
The song talks about games, and never over and over.
So if the game tweaks every single game. By using their older courses, that didn't turn out too amazing.
If they added a new challenge every game, or at least you didn't know which challenge you were going to get that game, you would NEVER know the game.
Changes could be from, adding ramps in one game, you may need an arm in another, or maybe you just need to protect something that game.
You Never know the game.
You have to work with the other teams you have. If no teams build an arm on their robot, than you may need to compromise a little.
but you NEVER know the game! :confused:

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Hey, so I think the rick roll involves the new size requirements. I don't know about, but we were rolled back 20 inches on our perimeter from last year. Oh and on week three they will reveal it will be a water game. :cool:
