That what you were looking for?

Yeah thanks alot

Re: Varied color light trick...

Just because of the pattern in past years the game piece should be a box of some sort right? If it is does anyone have any game ideas for lights and boxes?

That would be more fun for the programmers than the rest of the Robotics teams :D

There is no true pattern, see years prior to 03. I know at least from 2000-2002 was all balls, 2003 Sterilite Bins, 2004 back to balls, 2005 Tetrahedrons, 2006 balls. So as you can see there is no real patter, I know in other years there have been things like "floppies" which were round fabric discs filled with packing peanuts, there have been inner tubes before as well. So you never know what to expect in FIRST, although a box with a light in it would be rather interesting...

Re: Varied color light trick...

This is a very interesting thread.

over the past 5 years, I have learned not to listen to anything Dave says before the kickoff or any rumor I hear that involves Dave. I am saying this now, but I am probably going to go nuts when he starts messing with our head again this fall.

Since then, I've been walking around the Baby Walker trying to figure out what the heck is going to happen, and what part interested him the most. :p

Remember when Dave dropped a clue, and CD posters analyzed it day and night until we went berserk?
Well, he did it all again and then the angst got worse and worse and now you see we've gone completely out of our minds, and ... (sirens)
They're coming to take me away, ha ha,
They're coming to take me away, hee hee,
Ho ho, ha ha,
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time,
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats,
And they're coming to take me away!

"Oh no sir, they've gone plaid!" :eek:

I know this wasn't included in the joke-clue at championships, but this seems to point directly to a fourth color: Red, blue, and green are in that picture--but also yellow.

Just so I know,
how - bad - do Dave's clues get?
