You know what fits in 3x3x60? Small footballs and deflated inner tubes. ;)

Didn't they have to stack long rods in ftc or fll in the past? That was what i thought we were going to do in 2014.

Other theories, mini football goal posts.

12' tiny mini bot pole.

What if D is a tube of regolith? :ahh:

Re: [FRC Blog] Kit Hints?
 

If there were multiple objects less than 60" in length, then why would First not just package in a more square box (so much cheaper). My thought is that whatever is in the box is packaged like metal rods

Because if there is one thing they know well it is that they can release pointless information and people in the community will go crazy. ;)

It could be the new frame perimeter. :eek:

A mini bot pole made out of regolith!!! ;D

It's probably saying that the one box is 5ft long so you won't be able to transport it on something small, like a Vespa.

When you purchase a new set of irons (for golf), they are shipped in a box that measures approximately 4"x4"x60", but this is designed to carry a full set of eight golf clubs.

An individually packaged iron will weigh about 3 pounds when it's ready to ship, with each iron weighing between one and two pounds. This means that about 3-4 golf clubs could fit in the box's weight limit. From heel to toe, with the shaft oriented vertically, a golf club measures less than the ~4.25 inches of space (measured diagonally) in the 3"x3" square. A golf club is also easily fits within the 60" of length given by such a box (with room to vertically stagger clubs and add soft packing material, as the major golf manufacturers do when shipping clubs in their 60" boxes). This means that it's entirely possible for the box to contain three golf clubs with it's specified dimensions and given weight.

Are you ready to don your plaid knickers and driving cap?

It is interesting that the blog says 'One SET of items' in the 3x3x60. It's definitely not one item, and I'd bet strongly against any sort of metal due to the weight.

Can we add a DOGMA penalty for every time the wheels slip?

Re: [FRC Blog] Kit Hints?
 

I can't really think of anything that seems to make sense....if it's a game piece.

Lets say there are 20, 3x3x3 boxes. Something that small will probably not be a game piece as I believe they are too small to appeal visually to the audience. Also, if it is one long object, I don't see what it could be that it wouldn't be more cost effective for a team just to buy or make themselves or at least duplicate out of something like PVC.

As with most "hint" related things we're probably over-thinking it. It's probably just pool noodles. Heavy ones....
