oops...i went right to the last page in the thread (i had read the others earlier) Tom Line has a
link for a carpet puck, but not the link i posted and thats three ahead of mine.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

If you just look at their past tweets, even if they seem like general comments, they have a correlation to the game. Like 'thanks for the assist.'
I don't know. I'm probably just grasping for straws at this point - and probably succumbing to the pre-insanity of the season.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

@FakeGDC is run by a FIRST student simply being amused by the pre-kickoff insanity and making fun of it. He knows as much about this years game as anyone else. The only things you can think of as game hints come from official FIRST sources (as Libby stated).

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Let's get back on track yeah?

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

You have no idea if their comments have a correlation to THE GAME. It hasn't been released yet.

They connect to the current theories on the GAME HINT, because it's a parody account based on the ludicrous theories on Chief. As in, it's a joke.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

That's the only correct thing you've said so far.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Agreed

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Like I said, I'm probably just grasping at straws - I blame a lack of sleep and an obsessive curiosity.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

So we have a solid idea that the hint is pointing at assists. How can we connect this to better make out the game? Maybe names of people that are assist leaders? Then connecting there name with the game?

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Perhaps the "assists" are not pointing to another coopertition element (in which the two opposing alliances need to work together), but a true assist element.

Maybe we will need to pass a game element between two robots to score.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Possibly but this leaves one robot out of the picture.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

What if their is a game element so big, that it takes two robots to push it (and only one robot from each alliance can enter the zone to push it during endgame).

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

The only assist leaders we have right now are the three record holders in soccer, baseball, and hockey - and I'm not really aware of an assist 'leader'.

There is always the Joe Montana theory that someone came up with.

And a teammate of mine just mentioned this - what if 'watergame' is just figurative? Like we're using the water, we're not IN the water?

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Not that I don't want a water game and I hope that there is sometime but at the moment using water with the current control system is not that great of an idea. Just one slip up and a teams season is ruined.

Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
 

Not necessarily. To me, that is like saying that scoring a goal in soccer or basketball leaves the rest of the team out.

I'm imagining passing a ball, or two robots pushing one object together. The third robot could be defending, getting another piece, or performing another challenge (since FRC games always have multiple ways to score).
