Mark,
Do you think that FIRST will provide us with the key like they did for the 3rd clue or will we have to decrypt it ourselves?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

A third hint :ahh: :ahh: :ahh:

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

I'm not good at this stuff but could someone rearrange the letters and words in the new hint?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

They webcast the key at the close of the Kickoff show.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

Thanks Mark, I forgot.

On Kyle's question: I did it but there are about 47,000 of them so if anyone wants to take a look, go ahead.

OK.
Wikipedia says:
Hurdling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdling
combined with the statue at boston of the toroise, i put my 2 cents on a race of some sort. Vet for pet doctor also comes to the rabbit and tortoise...

Tetra is the number 4.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

I just had a long idea written up on the other post, and when I went to submit it the post was closed. :ahh: Basically I think the shapes of other game hints in order are square circle triangle, so I think it involves all those shapes. With this hint I think you may either need to shoot something over, a triangle tower, or place something on top of a triangle shaped stand.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

I think hurdling should be read in a way meaning: "to over come a difficulty."

I honestly don't think our robots would be jumping.....But you never know. :o

So... What ever Vet is.. overcomes/solves the (issue of the) FIRST tetra?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

Wow i have nooooo clue what this could possibly mean, unless it has something to do with that game with tetras from the past (i don't remember the name). The all caps FIRST implies that it is talking about something with in the organization and just the first and it the beginning. so i may br the return of the tetras that would be soo cool.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
 

Hmm, ok so the first clue was the IR board, the second had triangles/circles/boxes, this one has vet and triangles.

#1: We arnt using triangles at all, but we use circles and boxes, the IR lets you choose which one you want to go for/score in autonomous.

#2: We use all three shapes but either the vet teams have to use the triangle or they cant touch it in autonomous
