Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Man, now I can get excited about this!
*Mentor yelling at the students* EAT EAT COMMON WHATAYOU DOING EEAAATTT!!!!!!
*Students jaw muscles going numb* I can't, I need milk.... *thinks 5 matches left*
Can you see the finals? You've gotta take that 5 minute timeout to go puke...
Finally a way to glorify the teenagers ability to devour food!
This is a great game idea!

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Encouraging more teenagers to become bulemic. That's what FIRST is all about. :rolleyes:

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Heyy sorry to dissappoint everybody, but i believe all this talk was for nothing. I am also in the same class as "aaron" who supplied this hint. Our teacher like always, was playing a joke on the class. Aaron took this literally and poof, chiefdelphi madness. Like i said sorry to dissappoint everyone, but this hint was just a class joke.

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Enough with the "the center is out" problem.... anyone have any ideas on how they would carry a cup of coffee for the whole match? :confused:

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi everyone, apparently this was a ruse given to us by our teacher to get us excited about the competition this year coming up. Unfortunately this hype has been for nothing. Its a ficticious hint, sorry.

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Somehow i kind of thought it was. Although it was a good thing to get everyone thinking. <<< It gives our brain a work out for the building season. ;) It was really fun to watch all the idea's that everyone got (some people have some pretty interesting thinking caps on their heads).

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

hahaha .. thats awesome .. most people thought it was anyways .. but thanks for the entertainment!!

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

1. Have the human player drink the coffee (bleargh :ahh: ), then have the robot carry the empty mug around the rest of the match.

2. Have the robot attach a lid to the cup, making it unspillable.

interesting thoughts, though.

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

LOL..... don't been sorry... THIS IS THE RUMOR MILL!

It was fun. (Brain needed excercise anyway.)
See yea at NJIT for the REAL brainstorming. :)

Okay, I'm dating myself again...but does anyone remember this beauty?

Misdirected E-mail Unveils 2001 Game 3 Days Early...

So, don't worry about it. Stuff like this has gone on for years. ;)

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

y'know, if for some sick reason the game this year DOES involve carrying a cup of coffee, I'll have to change my name and ask for federal protection since everyone would assume I revealed privileged information (that I found in a stray pdf file). Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint.

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

Sorry to stir the pot BUT, did you ever notice that whenever a leak occurs, shortly after there is a denial. The next thing you know , the game is revealed and voila the leak was correct. This one seems too FIRST like to not be considered. I have a funny feeling about it. I guess we'll see in a few more days.

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

even though the hint is supposedly bogus, what about this:

- 4 is not enough -> 5 robots, all on one side (i.e. 4 v 0)
- the center has an area for 1 or 2 robots, who will be disabled there.
- the game progresses in "tag-team" format, where one team can tag in the center robot(s) and replace them on the actual field.

Eh?

Re: THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!
 

that'd be cool!!! Tag team FIRST robotics...
and it goes along w/ the whole gracias professionalism and alliances that FIRST likes..
LoL
i luv how no one cares the hint is "supposedly bogus" reali... HahA ;)
