After you pick them up, you have to stick them in a gigantic cube in the center of the field that has holes in the shape of each game piece (you know, like that toy you had when you were a kid...)

It's so obvious. :rolleyes:

Yes, I know. I wasn't implying that they were.

I asked in the Email Blast thread if anyone had, and I got two confirmations, however I've been unable to reach the contacts for either of the teams I'm associated with to check with them.

Re: pic: Game hint

Joe...I love your work. As a fan I would highly recommend you wear some protective armor before you go back to the 330 shop because as Russel Peters says, "Somebody gonna get a hurt a reall baadd!"

Dave...I love your work, but how did you get access to the usFIRST's ftp server?

I think Dave recruited Joe since Joe has quite an extensive resume. The website is legit which means its an 'insider job' and since only few people got the email [instead of everybody, because there is no "Blast"] I suspect that it is very odd. Also I doubt that it would be Dave and Joe's plan to post it since people will automatically think it false if either of them did but I assume [yes I know what happens when I assume], that they didn't want anyone else in on it....

If I'm wrong... Dinner's on me in Atlanta in 2009! :D

EDIT1 of many: I assume that to keep it sound legit, Dave also managed to get his 'insider' to send an email to a few select teams that have "trustworthy" people that don't have any history of anything other than superb [with the exception of Joe].

EDIT2: I hate you Dave/Joe. I was just about to go to sleep and I see this.... :$ ... Why must you do this to me?

Re: pic: Game hint

Jane, I am the alternate contact for team 1345 as well. Would you please forward me that email? Thanks.

... is there anybody on the forum who is a main contact or the alternate contact for their team and didn't receive this email?

Dave, you are killing me here. But... I am not going to lose the bet. You won't see a post from me analyzing the "clue." Try harder. =)

We need an IP check on this ASAP, both registration address as well as the post address. We need to confirm this came from NDI or NH.

Nah...Already been shot down as a hoax. If it had come from this user, I'd be a little more suspicious. (For example, why would Dean have a rookie year of 2000?)

Oh, and I suspect you're giving up dinner in 2009 in Atlanta. The email was forwarded to the BeachBots by someone other than Joe. That means that a)this other person was in on it or b)it's legit. (Or said other person is a victim as well.)

I think we have established with reasonable certainty that it is not real. I believe the account should be deleted when the moderators confirm this.

As for the new toy, I'm in the boat of believing the robots will be talking with each other, or having multiple scoring object that the robots get bonus points for telling on which to score. I thought "AIM High" would have been more interesting with 3 lights, one above each of the goals.

If this were a field element (I'm somewhat inclined to believe it's going on the robot), would coaches/drivers/human players be allowed cameras to see from where the IR is being emitted?
