Re: Do you think FIRST would change the game if...
 
I may have missed something you guys said already, but maybe they design two games, or one and a half, incase someone guesses it exactly, if something is accidently released that gives it away, or if a major problem is found in the game and they have to abandon it after the kickoff, they have another ready to go, or almost ready to go. Then, if they don't use it, they can use it as a start on next year's game and begin designing a backup game that can be used the following year.

I am basing this off of almost no information.

Major problems haven't caused them to abandon or change the game in the past. They just release poorly worded updates.

:yikes:


yeah but after the first ten minutes of listening to a monkey bang on a piano, everyone would leave, so by the time he DID play Bach there would be nobody there to hear it. :eek:

this idea that someone is going to guess the game, and spoil the efforts of FIRST

is similar to engineering

anyone can come up with an idea, lets say for a flying machine that uses no power

but unless you:

1. are certain that your idea is correct (real) and
2. you can explain to others why its correct and
3. you can convince others that your idea is correct

then all you are doing is guessing - unless you could convice a good percentage of the 950 teams that you have some proof of what the new game is,

and they take you seriously

then why would FIRST care?

even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
