Perhaps I should rephrase that. I intended to say that it would only be necessary in autonomous. Simply from the reasoning that it would be quite out of character for the GDC to design a game where the only option for success in auto OR tele-op was to use this sensor on your robot so you could tell which whatsit needs what gizmo to maximize your points. Like I said, there will at least be visual clues for the spectators to follow along with that would clue in drivers. And I refuse to believe that the the GDC would make something like this absolutely mandatory to having a successful robot.

I agree once again (we sure think a-like) I can't see it being the only for the robot to work, I can see it help, and I can see it the most help in auto mode (or perhaps end game)

The assemblies and function of this board are very real. I think this year will be a fun one for all the teams. ;)

Any way of knowing if this user is legitimate?

Re: pic: Game hint
 

I have a hard time believing this is legit.

The Dean Kamen post earlier was a little more real (yet still suspicious).

This user needs to be investigated on.

Can a mod do this please?

Along with, perhaps, messing with our minds, Dave is likely paying attention. The GDC creates and implements the game for the year and they pay attention to and learn from responses, I guarantee you. The added bonus is Dave's relentless humor.

Edit: Also, it might be a good idea to recognize the fact that we have sponsors such as diversifiedsystems involved in this clue, which raises the bar in several areas. It couldn't and wouldn't hurt to be respectful as we are exploring different aspects of the clue in our posts.

This is Ben Wrightsman from diversifiedsystems. We manufactured the IR Sensor Boards at the beginning of this thread. We also produced the sensor boards last year, the YAW/Accel/Gear tooth sensors. Red was to spice things up a bit.

Just thought I would join up, and see all the hype on the "teaser" boards.

Even if they weren't, do you not believe the statement about it being a fun year?

And I think we already proved the board gift is real even IF www.divsys.com is not an "official" person with a CD account.
There is no huge conspiracy between Joe Ross, Team 330, or any other people who have said they have gotten one. I would have thought by the 360+ posts in this thread so far, we would have all come to that concensus by now. :rolleyes:

Moving right along... :]


Kinf of cool that a board with Infrared technology on it would be colored red.
Very cool link of form & function in my opinion. :)
Kudos to who came up with that thought!

Re: pic: Game hint
 

Just because there are not less than 360 posts does not prove that Joe Ross is not part of a global conspiracy that anyone else might not be participating in. Or not. ;)

You realize if you keep messing with our heads, we're just going to stop paying attention to you? Then it's no fun for you.

Pssst....everyone...IGNORE DAVE!

dave make vivek confused with his counterproductive banter :mad:

Re: pic: Game hint
 

totally, and I haven't even read all 360+ posts.


I do find it odd that there has been a bunch of new members commenting on this thread though (like join CD to post on this thread)

I'm not saying there fakes but it is a little odd.. this part is definatly making for a cool year!!!!

EDIT:There was a thousand points between who I was agreeing with and my post it was Elgin I was responding to

I think I'm going to need a 12 step program to help cure me from my Cryptic Dave Lavery Chief Delphi Post Analyzation Disorder I got goin' on here.

I guess I can take credit for that, we were going to go with Colts blue, but didn't want to offend anyone. :)

If there is a conspiracy, Joe is not the head of it (if he's even involved, which I doubt). This character, on the other hand, certainly is. The conspiracy's objective? Puzzle us all to death, mess with our heads, and similar "crimes".
