[FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Posted on the FRC Blog, 12/20/13: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...2014-Game-Hint

Go at it.

P.S. Notice how there's no number for the hint (ex. 2014 Game Hint #1). Looks like only one game hint again this year.

P.P.S. This thread's thread id # is 123456 ;)

Not that it would matter, but the post says 16:08 and it was definitely not posted at 16:08... (more like 16:20)

-----Posting pause as people consider hint-----

This thread will explode in roughly 10 minutes.


Oh, it will matter. Everything matters. My (non-expert) guess would be that it was posted at 16:08 privately, and made public a few minutes later.
