Small game hint!
 

My coach posted this video to our team's Facebook page this morning :ahh: . This isn't directly a game hint but it still will have your mind spinning. Could this mean cannonballs?! :confused: . It's a great video and i'd recommend watching it all the way through, but for those who want to get straight to the hint I've started the video in the right place:D : https://youtu.be/xjdzYAg_MlQ?t=1m32s

I don't really notice any hints. What's in the video is what we already know :P. (Unless I'm stupid and missed something)

Re: Small game hint!
 

Well, we now know that there might be balls.

Re: Small game hint!
 

Which, according to the pattern, there are supposed to be (specifically, small balls).

Re: Small game hint!
 

What point in the video was this said? I didn't notice :O

Dean said it when he was interviewed.

To elaborate, here is the last bunch of game pieces:

2008 - Large Diameter Spheres (~40" DIA) covered in rugged fabric
2009 - Non-Sphere Moon Rocks. Maybe kinda Sphere-ish.
2010 - Small Diameter Spheres (Soccer Balls) (~9" DIA)
2011 - Inflatable FIRST logo pieces
2012 - Small Diameter Spheres (Foam Basketballs) (~8" DIA)
2013 - Non-Sphere Frisbees
2014 - Large Diameter Spheres (~24" DIA) covered in rugged fabric
2015 - Non-Sphere Totes
2016 - Theoretically due for some sort of sphere game piece, if pattern continues ...

Re: Small game hint!
 

This pattern even went back further.

2002 - Small Spheres (Though they were only a secondary game piece in the end)
2003 - Non-Sphere Totes
2004 - 2 Types of Balls, both large and small diameter
2005 - Non-Sphere PVC Tetrahedrons
2006 - Small Diameter Spheres
2007 - Non-Sphere Inflatable Inner Tubes

Cannonball game confirmed! :yikes:

Re: Small game hint!
 

I cant believe how much people look into this.
:]

Re: Small game hint!
 

You know what's REALLY sad?


2001: Small Spherical Game Objects (SGOs) AND large SGOs.
2000: Small SGOs.
1999: Non-SGO (torus shape made of fabric, filled with foam peanuts and rimmed with velcro)
1998: Large SGOs.
1997: Non-SGO (inner tube, see 2007 for approximation)
1993-1996: Small SGOs, various.
1992: VERY Small SGO (tennis balls, I believe)

And no, I wasn't watching events before around 1998/1999.

If that doesn't bust the pattern, I don't know what will.

Re: Small game hint!
 

Let's not forget the end of the 2015 game hint video.

"Change is coming"

Perhaps this means the pattern will break. Hmmmmmmm...?

Re: Small game hint!
 

It was fairly clear that this statement was directed towards not having bumpers last year with a divided field. Also being allowed to have a robot encompass multiple parts around the field, and not a single unit.
