You whipper-snappers don't remember the before-bumper days, when we all had steel frames and prayed they'd hold up...

I get the strange feeling that we have gone off topic a bit much, I feel like we were on the right track with the poem riddle thing, but now were just pulling things out of the blue.

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

did you notice one of the staff members are named ROSE :ahh:

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

I believe I called that, sir. :D

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

A Rose, Kissed could refer to the song "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal, who is a well known singer in australia. He is also a Judge/coach on the voice australia. In the first line of this song he mentions a tower alone in the sea, which could poke at the idea of a game played on water. The HOLDING WEIGHT aspect may say that the alliances would work together to transport things to and from the tower to gain points within the allotted time.
Im still working on what A DINNER, MISSED might mean...

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Did anyone consider factoring the numbers?

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Could that 31 be the 31" of the new long dimension? A 31" inch c channel on andymark was mentioned. Just a thought

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

I appears that either everyone or no one will be reciving a Kinect this year. There is no variation between Rookie and Veteran kits for the Kinect. Is it resonable to assume that both rookies and veterans alike will be recieving an additional Kinect?

Thats what I thought of too XD

One of the parts on AndyMark's FIRST Choice is Galvanized Steel Cable!!! This combined with the lyrics to "Never gunna give you UP. Never gunna let you DOWN" may imply some sort of pulley aspect to the game. Plus on the NASA page for Mission 31, the first video is of Yo-yo's.

If they're giving us another one to put on the robot (Using the first one we had for Hybrid period)

I dont believe this, but it is possible. Saying as how so little people decided to use it last year, maybe they were just like "If you're a rookie and you really want a kinect to practice with still, you'll have to buy it"

I do believe that they will still have it used in a hybrid period of some sort though, but probably not as impractically (IMHO) as this year.

Just for curiosity I rendered a 'bot at 79% of the 2012 size. The dimensions include the wheel widths.

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!
 

Has anyone tried to find some correlation between the numbers and the kit of parts? Maybe there will be some kind of pattern based on the prices, dimensions or some other number related to the parts.
