If FRC is the varsity sport for the mind, isn't every year a sport?

Game Hint Enthusiasts: 0 - GDC: 1

I'd bet on ice hockey; the trend of assists and sports in the game hint have led us to this, and we still have 1963 in the game hint. We still have the 2009 Doctor Who clip, which was from a somewhat lunar-related challenge. I'm thinking ice hockey is the most likely simply because of the references that seem to point towards lunacy (ice surface?) and the trend in sports within the given hint.

That's where I can see "assisting" coming into play. We'd have to pass things to each other.

My guess: some sort of "the best of FRC" style game, alla 2004, where 2012's basketballs, 2010's soccer balls, and 2009's moon rocks are all game pieces.

Could make the objects large enought that each trailer can hole like 2-3 and have a place on the ends where they can be dumped

I don't see how teams would assist each other in this case. Could you explain it better?

Did I solve the poem correctly, and thus it was deleted? I put a considerable amount of time into my post, and ow it is gone. :( They're conspiring against us...

What was your solution?

I'd estimate there are barely enough moon rocks in existence to stock a 2009 field. To say those we're "hard to find" would be putting it lightly, and even if you did have some, they broke if a strong gust of wind passed through the room. I'm pretty sure they were discontinued? Regardless, those will go down in history as one of the worst game pieces ever.

If you google, you find that Wayne Gretzky (a hockey player) holds the record for the most assists (1,963 total).

May have nothing to do with physically assisting with a score or pass in the traditional sense but they might be planning something particular for Autonomous mode or the game itself that requires assistance from the camera or some other means rather than just suggesting it.

Just some thoughts.

I SOOO agree with this. After all, at the Championship Dean was very adamant about how he so happy to see how much the word has gotten out to people over the last year about FIRST. After all, they even made the new award for Will for Making It Loud.

All the dates and links to sports still don't explain the numbers after the colons in each of the 3 number sets...

Edit: Well, ok, so the numbers by themselves reference different things related to sports, but none are related, and they aren't related to the date they are paired with.
