Now that we've figured out Assists is the clue, what can we infer about the game from "assists" or "assisting"?

Landon Donovan, born 3-4-82, holds the all-time US Soccer assists record: 57.

I think we got it!

THREE sports. you have to build your robot to use only one of the three kinds of game pieces. you have to assist each other, and hopefully have one basketball, one soccer, and one hockey playing robot.

So now that we realize the game has to do with assisting, time to speculate on what we're going to be assisting with. Assist the other team, maybe? Are we going to see coopertition points returning?

I agree with GCDelp, and I definitely think George1902 is really on to something with this assist data:

Wayne Gretzky, born 1-26-61, holds NHL record for career assists: 1963.

John Stockton, born 3-26-62, holds the NBA assists record: 15806.

Seems to fit the updated numbers, 61474:135, 12661:1963, 32662:15806, perfectly.

Assist = return of Coopertition. Boom. Done. (:P)

Return of the Coopertition bonus!:D

I seriously think hint is solved. Sports(maybe) and assisting being a big part of it. GG.

Angels' Nolan Ryan strikes out 19 Red Sox in 12 innings on 14th June 1974.

I would personally LOVE another coop game. It usually makes the endgame a LOT more interesting to watch....and drive :D

I don't know if assist would mean the bringing back of coopertition (especially after it's not so positive reception), but maybe a need to assist your alliance partners. Most games can be played by a single robot by itself - maybe now you really need your teammates to score big.

That was easy, so assist
maybe a balancing bridge again....

But these numbers lead to the same answer even though they've been changed. Its just that this new set of numbers makes finding the hint easier. SO its probably not any dates, records, or specific numbers. I don't know what it is; BUT it has to lead to the same thing, regardless of specific numbers.

Well there we go. Hint solved in about 10 min. Nice. So how will this tie to the poem that was posted? Just to make sure we take in all angles, and better our chance of being correct.

I can't take much credit. George beat me to it by a few minutes in the other thread. Good on him though!

And yeah, coopertition sounds fun, but we still don't know too much about the true nature of the game. At least the GDC was kind to us!

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assist it seems as though assisting is a pass that results in scoring. Maybe we'll have to pass game pieces between robots in our alliance?
