Re: Dave's updated signature
 

Perhaps not water polo, but polo...we have to build robotic horses to play polo.

And now it says...
So, who are "the two"?

Re: Dave's updated signature
 

I'm new here. Forgive my ignorance but who is Dave and why is he important?

Re: Dave's updated signature
 

Dave Lavery, Program Executive for Interplanetery Exploration for NASA and one of the "Annointed Three".

Dean Kamen, Founder of FIRST, Woodie Flowers, the "Grandfather of Robotic Competition" and Dave Lavery make up the "Trinity of FIRST."

Not only this, but he is a member of the Game Design Committee. This should explain why every post he makes is eventually over-analyzed. He also does the game animations each year. You'll see him on the Kickoff webcast.

As in Trinity church that the coordinated seem to point to?

Thanks for the answer. Dean and Woodie I know of. Woodie was one of my profs at MIT.

AHA! Dave, you have finally slipped up - I've figured it out.

Using the previous quote with this line as the cryptovariable in a Feister cypher, you generate the encryption key needed to open the manuals. Hopefully they'll be released soon so I can try it out.

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me - I won't share the details of the game with anyone until after kickoff.

Dave may be referring to the two types of game pieces that we will have this year.
Mabye there will be an autonomous mode at the beginning and the end, to make all of the programmers happy:D
