If you notice, the characters the post uses as thousands separators are both the comma (,), and the period (.). While groups of three digits in a single string of numbers are separated by commas in the US, some countries abroad, or "across the pond" if you would, use the mighty comma.

There are a total of five commas and one period, therefore only one of the six robots will be "across the pond" and their alliance members will have to save them. The "pond" is a moat. The other alliance members are moat alligators. In fact, all robots and team members are alligators and CMP will be in the everglades.

It's a water game.

That's funny. I think that was a typo because the comma is right next to the period on a standard keyboard.

IMO it was worse for the seniors, who will never have another chance at a good game as a student. I'd rather have been a freshman than a senior in 2015.

Oh come on, Recycle Rush wasn't THAT bad... Was it?

Anyways, Frank posting something talking about how those numbers weren't actually a game hint. But of course, if he's saying it, than it MUST be a game hint :rolleyes:

It was pretty bad, and I mean, it was voted the WORST frc game of all time on another thread (Lunacy was in 2nd)

Just because others thought it was a bad game, does NOT mean that you have to think that it was. Some were upset that they didn't get to play defense (read: Bumper Cars), but others were glad for a break from the misery caused by high speed collision and the resulting robot injuries. If you enjoyed the 2015 season (I'm sure you did, you're back for 2016, right?) and learned something that you didn't know before, the game couldn't have been that bad, could it?

Also, it just dawned on me that the number of registered teams is approaching pi*10e2. Not a significant number in this context, but a neat little coincidence.

I did learn the important things about robotics (i.e. How to keep on schedule, drive team, etc.) but I think it was not as good as it could have been (lack of defense, and wasnt a spectator sport), but I wasnt disappointed in the frc season itself. I am soooooo pumped for 2016

What if it is the number of times the video had been viewed at that moment?

Too simple?

I bet you Frank's looking at all our posts on Chief Delphi and is laughing his head off. He's probably going to stay up all night seeing what we post.

What if he is posting on CD under a username that we don't recognize, and he fakes himself as one of us???

Remember, there is TWENTY HOURS AND TWENTY FOUR MINUTES UNTIL KICKOFF!!
