Sounds like it could be that 2009/2012 combo everyone was waiting for: Space Jam!

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

Nah, I'm pretty sure the reasons I didn't like it were that you couldn't keep score, the humans played better than the robots, and that the game pieces were always broken.

The novel drive surface/wheels were a nice idea, I guess, but in practice they essentially just made the game messier and drive designs less interesting (mechanically, that is).

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

Aside from the 3013 thing, has anyone noticed the game manual updates on November 26 and 27th?:]

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

3013 is an anagram for 3301.

Clearly, this is a pointer to a much more elaborate game hint...

I'm going to run with this. Supposedly the next round should start on January 4th. Is anybody around here doing something else that day?

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

What if kickoff will just give us a first clue? and we have to solve the game AND build a robot to compete in it in just 6 weeks.

Any team that comes with a bagged up robot equipped with pool floaties will obviously have deciphered the puzzle.

Back to the Doctor Who theories, I saw this on Facebook a day or two ago, just thought I'd highlight how they say "to teach kids about science" and that is also in a way what FIRST does

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

One thing I think people have forgotten is on the FIRST blog it said he was a museum curator. What does that mean? we have a lot of theories with dr. who, but what does being a museum curator have to do with it?

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

The man he references, Tom Baker, was once the Doctor (4th doctor if my info is correct). He appears to the current Doctor to talk to him in a museum, as the museum's curator.

At this point, we haven't determined if Frank is a Whovian or if this is actually a game hint.

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

Ok, that last part I didn't know, I didn't know he visited the recent doctor. Now to figure out what it means in relation to a game...

Something Old
Something New
Something Borrowed
Something Blue

Oh wait, That was Rory and Amy. oops

Also, look at my signature XD

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

So has anyone looked at the kickoff video filming photo posted on the blog? I thought it was an interesting post. I thought it could be a hint but there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious in the photo itself. I wondered if there was possibly something hidden in the file.

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

The metadata of the photo says that there is no hint here

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

It actually says that?!? The GDC is getting evil here!

Re: 3013 - Game hint?
 

May I divert your attention here
