A ROSE, KISSED
SINTER TREAT
A DINNER, MISSED
HOLDING WEIGHT

The game piece will be sinter.

This might be a wild tangent, but I'm guessing the 2013 game has something to do with rails (railways/railroads).
Why? Well "88274153" leads you to this: http://books.google.com/books?id=M7k...4153&f= false

The table's title says Australian Railways.
Another set of numbers "088274153" leads you to Adelaide, Australia. The Wikipedia page states they have a really good rail system.

Numerous number sets lead you to phone numbers, Indian phone numbers. There were some from Tamil Nadu (southern state) and another from Gujarat (western state). I couldn't really explain this other than India has a well connected railway system.

Some of the number sets ("332341415326") were FedEx tracking numbers that are no longer valid. Maybe they were moved by rail?

Its a random guess, the numbers could mean anything.

look at the url, http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog-kit-of-arts-info-and-an-actual-game-hint


hmm...

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Incorrect link, but I think I can guess what you are trying to link to.

What are you implying?

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

it says kit of arts, not kit of parts.

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Good Point - Singer Treat is a possibility

Sinter seems less likely given that the powder metallurgy term is not widely known.

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

I see.

Using art you can draw water.

Water game?

Probably just a typo or something, lets not make mountains out of mole hills, before we get off track again.

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

My mentor has figured it out

"Seal" will "miss dinner (of fish)" because it's "holding (this) weight."

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Larger (or more) alliances, smaller robots, and longer games would, IMO, go well together.

...but I hope they don't make the robots much smaller. The spectacle of FIRST is tied to its scale.

GPS Coordinates of some sort?

Link to GPS

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

"A ROSE, KISSED/SINGER GREAT" is Seal. What about "A DINNER, MISSED/HOLDING WEIGHT"?

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

What if the main robot is 30 by 28 with a mini-bot attached to the front?

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

What if the main bot is the minibot, and it has to launch a full-sized FRC bot up the pole?

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

The third and fourth lines could be referring to a First Frenzy-style cap. "Seal" would then refer to blocking it off.
