A New Hint from Dave?
 

I was thinking earlier about how a bluebot gets completely attacked in the past few animations. So I had to find out if this year's animation would include an injured bluebot. Best way to find out? Ask Sean Lavery.
Burned?! We can only imagine what Dave has planned for this year's game.

oooooo:ahh: flamethrowers, diamond plate circles, 5's, and bananas......sounds like fun;)

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Does this mean that Tytus gets to be the game piece?:rolleyes:

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Nope, he's the goal!

Glad we always have paramedics...

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Burned, hmm could that be a reference to another "just shoot me" episode? Maybe it is the word used to describe some sort of a status. Like "your it", you know like in the game tag.

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

For some strange reason, i think we're taking this WAY too seriously....

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

It may be referring to Dave trying to get Sean to stop bugging him while trying to enjoy his Holiday break..:rolleyes:

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Good call!

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Flames? Bananas? Friends we are talking FLAMBE! Not only a challenging game, but a delicious desert!

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Maybe there will be flames on the side of the field to keep people from getting in and out during the match. Or as our team was thinking about doing--balls covered in lighter fluid, then ignited as they leave the robot--ie a ROBOT BALL FLAMETHROWER!
:cool:

*sputter* *cough* *choke* *gasp*

5 golden rings, not great balls of fire...

Come ON January 6th, let's go, oh yeah...

*sputter* ...

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

That was the first time I've bugged him....and that was only because people were bugging me to bug him! :ahh:

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Ahhh... The great force called "peer pressure". LOL:p

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Now the real question is...'Why aren't you bugging him?'

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Hm.....rings.....onion rings?....inflatable pool floatie rings?

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Burned? Like.... magic smoke?

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

dave is probably just trying to get us to think of water because water shorts stuff out--hence the magic smoke we all fear, and a flame of course
sorry i must have been posting at the same time i wasn't stealing your idea i just thought of the same thing as soon as i saw that

mail-delivering robots navigate flaming diamond plate obstacle course


(I'm tellin ya...and I have a record of being told secrets :p )

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

nah, it will be something out of a king arthur story.... there will be a dragon, and the diamond plate circles will be our only forms of protection... like round shields and what not.

mr. plowbot just doesn't have arms, so he can't hold it, which is why he is one of 'the ones that get burned'

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

wait wait wait, does this mean the FIRE game is replacing the water game!! Thats sooo awesome Bring on the FIRE GAME!

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Or maybe "burned" is used in the context like "owned"

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

That was my first reaction. I just think real fire would be way too dangerous.

I mean, think about it. You're testing out some new code in the pit, and suddenly the adjacent booth is on fire. :ahh:

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Ah, that happens every now and then anyway. Oh wait...

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

Our mistake isn't misinterpretation of the clues--it's that you're all assuming these clues are for next year.

In fact, FRC won't have a water game until 2020. The fire game will take place in 2034.

FIRST is following a fourteen year cycle through earth, air, water, and fire. Maize Craze (the 1992 game) represents earth. Aim High (2006, which is 14 years later), represents air because the balls are being shot through air. Clearly, water is clearly next in 2020, 14 years after Aim High. After all, we've been seeing hints about this water game for years.

Now, on a separate thought, don't forget the thing about the jello game. Jello powder mix is flammable.

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

wait, a jello game? but that would mean a colloid...
where does that fit in... anywhere? maybe its just a transition game...

Dave Quotes; For the win! :)

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

I know that I have used the word "burned" in a race between objects.

Ex) Man, that Saturn got burned by that Corvette!"

Maybe a game that requires speed? What do you think?

Re: A New Hint from Dave?
 

How about instead of thinking of burning as in fire, why don't we look at it in a different perspective. It may be burned in the sense that it is damaged or hit a lot. That may mean that the object is heavy and hard i.e. a diamond plate...plate.
