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.

.... they are the number of assists those people had.

The birth date of the player who holds the record for assisnts + ":" + The record for number of assists in that sport

The colon implies relationship whereas the "/" made it a ratio

Wayne Gretzky, a hockey player born on 1/26/1961, holds the record for total assists made (1963 total).

Air Hockey?

- with three zones, just like ice hockey
- with three pucks;
- with three teams on each alliance

Air Hockey is great, because it's very fast paced. Maybe on teflon sheets?

Get it now, sorry for my slowness.

Go to work for a few hours, and this is what happens.

Nice work, those of you who figured out the "assist" clue. I've been all pumped about trying to find ways to get our robot below 90 lbs this year; I guess that won't be a problem now (or will it?).

I just hope they don't bring back the mandatory wheels! "Regolith" (or cheap bathroom panelling) was nasty, but more importantly, many of us gambled on not taking the KOP this year. If it's just about gear boxes and c-channel, fine, but if there is a MANDATORY part that we just won't have unless we order it (all at the same time, just like 2009), that will be hell.

I'm still leaning toward baseball rather than hockey. And if it's hockey, may it be with carpet and a wheeled puck! I want to use Colsons!

It would probably be regolith. They used it in 2009.

There were SO many problems with regolith that they would have to be insane to use it again.

Ignore post; It has been solved on page 1.

Back to assists... what are ways that robots would assist each other to score?

Having to "send" the game pieces to other robots due to a location limit. Then the last robot will score.

Maybe it will be one large central game piece the two alliances will have to pass to each other before scoring, as in no "un-assisted" goals?

Oh look we have 2 box bots on our alliance, we get to score 0 points

;)

I doubt the GDC will ever allow for a game in which scoring cannot be accomplished by 1 robot...

There have been many instances of robots helping each other in the past, within alliances as well. Remember Rack 'n' Roll? Teams had to lift their alliance partner up in endgame.
2012 we had to share a bridge (A very exciting and competition-changing thing, remember, FIRST likes the excitement)
There have been other instances of Coopertition in the past. I am sure that is what the assisting refers to, either Coopertition between alliances or within an alliance.

This is what I was thinking would be an issue. Maybe they would bring back trailers? That way you could somewhat avoid that scenario.
