Either 2 or more things become 1, or you are are forced to make a choice between which route you want to take.

The name of the game will be "Conjunction Junction".

The robots will be tasked with hooking up words and phrases and clauses.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

The pit scouts will be going around asking teams "What's your function?"

They're Cartesian coordinates. It's a hockey stick.

Notice how they're all non-terminating decimals? Let it be known that the game will be irrational this year!

Just out of curiosity sake I googled space baseball to see if it actually happened or if it's some obscure game I've never heard of. And this is what I found.

Does this mean the robot has to do all of it at once :ahh:

Weight reduction means... Hovercraft!
I'm predicting hovercraft hockey and I won't hear any different...

Math clarification: the numbers are rational. They are expressed as one whole number over another -- the definition of rational. A more accurate representation would be to say that the game is non-terminating....

Right, but you can't just take the hint as-is. That would be too easy . . . gotta do some unnecessary conversions first!
Though a non-terminating game sounds just as fun.

Don't know if this matters at all but in 2014 it will be the 25 anniversary of the NFL.

Umm, where did you get this from?
It's going to be SuperBowl XLVIII last I checked.

The NFL was created in 1920 (source).

Just because it is the 25th of madden does not mean that the nfl is also 25 years old, just a thought. That was probably where you got 25 from..

Maybe we are looking at the message the wrong way instead of 8234/57, 61126/1963, 62326/15806 maybe we should look at the comas as arbitrary separators of larger numbers and the actual numbers look like

8234/5761126/196362326/15806
