Ladies and Gentlemen, we're off to the races...

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

That's pretty comprehensive, but remember we have an IR camera, we do all of that in Autonomous. Then we start the real games. (but Autonomous will be emphasized more than ever before, at least, if the camera is easy as they say it is to program)

Hey people don't you think it is werid that in the two thousand and four FIRSTthe robots a had to lift itself up on to a hurdle like object. Where the vet comes in im not sure yet.

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

I wouldn't bet on it. Speed will lead to collisions, which will increase the overall amount of disabeld bots across the board. I don't think the GRC would have us racing just yet.

Depending on how old it is (seeing that its from your school it could be a bit outdated), preview will just show the PDF blanked out by a red background and a text box to input the decryption key... It works fine for me.

Care to explain 2001 to me then? Yeah...

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

Or 2002, remember Beatty getting smashed? or 2003, the hellish battle for the middle... 06 had a bit of shoving as well...

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

nothing wrong with a little robot-robot action.... now only if they would let us have wedges back :p

(I can dream can't I??)

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

I was saying the racing bit, but yeah, that works too!

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

The definition of end game is pretty much a race. Especially in 03, 05, 06, and 07

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

Bet we see tetra's, squares & circles(balls) out on the field. IR signals will tell us which where they have to go. Need to think of designs for multiple different objects .........agggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh

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

Interesting Anagrams keeping FIRST together.....

First Dangle Rivet(Tightly Held) Truth

First Granted Evil Truth (Water Game)

First Advent Ruler Tight

First Tundra Lever Tight

First Relevant Dig Truth

First Gauntlet Third Rev

A divergent truth flirts

This Link is REALLY cool, The Anagram Hall Of Fame

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

In an earlier thread, people were talking about temporary IR walls. Look at the Middle English definition for hurdle... :yikes:

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

Maybe we can divine this year's competition by looking at hints of past years:
Triple Play involved stacking giant tetrahedrons in a game of tic-tac-toe. I wasn't involved back then, so I don't really know that much.

Aim High involved launching foam balls (meatballs?) at targets, represented with green lights ("Montana's green heights"). The shovel could refer either to a robot shoving balls into the lower goals or to ball-collection device.

The game involved placing inflatable tubes on long "spider-legs," each of which ended with one of the pictured circles representing the column.

Anyone see a pattern here?

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

I think clue number two is a metaphor for something to do with navigation.


So I think we will have something with three sides (v-e-t) three letter word. numbers. (tetra) tree sided object. Three numbers (clue #2)


...maybe throw a three sided object over hurdles... while using navigation.....
