I see 254's little trick has caught on! ;)

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

The FB likes have gone up more than 50 since I saw the message. Twitter increase seems to be going at a slower rate.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

1114 did it first. :)

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Looks like my prediction will be right for the second year in a row ;)

Currently at 5,090 followers on Twitter. How many more do they need?

edit: just broke 5,100.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

So Excited for the new season
I am just guessing crazy stuff to happen
4 robot teams.
3 alliance matches.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Well I gotta hand it to FIRST, this is certainly an easy big P.R. campaign :rolleyes:

It looks like FIRST is checking Twitter as often as we do: https://twitter.com/FRCTeams/status/414120622298779648

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

So has the official game hint been announced? where will we be able to tell if its official or not?

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Usually posted up here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog

That's the "official" portal for FIRST news

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Gah.. why did I follow them a month ago! WHY!

So, does anyone have the initial numbers?

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

It's being posted from an official channel of FIRST, that's how we know it's for real. :D

They're definitely up at least 50 Twitter followers by now.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

And I thought I was going to do something productive tonight...

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

You are doing something productive tonight....guessing the game!

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Does anybody know What the initial numbers were

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

I've seen that before, I believe it is a glitch.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Plot twist: Instead of posting the hint on Twitter or Facebook, they post a video hint on YouTube where nobody is checking :yikes:

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Double plot twist: They've been streaming the game hint on repeat since January.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

plot twist: there is no hint

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

5160 now so at most 30 more...

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Suggestion. When the actual hint comes out start a new thread. This thread will have at least 60 odd posts before the real hint...

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

No idea how many more they need... but they're at 5168 on Twitter right now! Bummed that I'd already liked their page... :-P

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

A crazy theory:

The game hint has to do with the DARPA Robotics Challenge, which is currently being streamed live on YouTube.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

the FRCTeamsGlobal youtube channel has a "live now" red box next to it in the search results
New twitter message


Never underestimate the power of FIRST members! #gamehint blog post coming soon! #omgrobots

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

...and is far more interesting than trolling for Facebook likes and followers. :/

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

New post on the FRC Teams Twitter:

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Great. Now, I have to madly refresh the frc blog page for the next hour while watching the DARPA robots.... :rolleyes:

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Are you kidding me? I have things to do today! Well, I did...

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

.....and the FIRST website will soon crash from massive amounts of refreshing.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint

Over and over again.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

I'm leaving it open in my browser. And you wonder why FIRST choice went down...

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

If FIRST couldn't get 50 like on Twitter I think they would've just cancel the season just to teach us a lesson.

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

And to think i was actually planning on getting a project done tonight...::rtm::

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Notice they never said how soon. "Soon" is rather ambiguous, don't you think? We could be waiting for any amount of time!

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

8234/57, 61126/1963, 62326/15806
what does it mean?

Re: REAL 2014 Game Hint
 

Those fractions simplified turn into 8234/57, 4702/151, 62326/15806.

Only the middle one could be simplified.

Also, IT HAS BEGUN! AND THIS TIME AFTER I FINISHED WITH FINALS!!! :D
