Yeah, I don't want to talk about that game.....6 motor drive train, titanium...and the claw didn't work. Grrr.... I really feel that this mention of the tetra would imply that they are coming back in some form or other.

Don't encourage them!

Oh great, a brainstorm. Three hints is probably also a clue. What game had a clue with a lot of 3's referenced? Triple Play. Shortly after the season, someone suggested Triple Replay. I think I know what's coming...

hurdling = speed bumps?

Okay, I'm done with speculation. There are only a few more days until Kickoff anyway...

I think this might mean that veterans of the 2005 game (Triple Play) might have an advantage?

So maybe the teams that are veterans (that played in the previous tetra game) will be given another chance to overcome that game(which didn't work out so well for many teams). This doesn't really combine well with the other clues, though. You could take the first clue to be a rectangle(the shape of the board), the second clue to be gps and bearing, point to the Globe Bar and Grill(circle), and this third clue to be about triangles. If you look at the FIRST logo reading from right to left it is square, circle, triangle. Can't wait for kickoff!

Giving veterans a "second chance" at picking up tetras sounds like a reasonable possibility, but I really hope this is not the case. Tetras were not my favorite gamepiece :eek:

I understand your frustration, but combining two threads into one will (help) prevent confusion and redundancy - I was going to do the same but Karthik got there first.

This is not MTV and the Gauntlet (good show though). FIRST wouldn't give an advantage to veterans unless they won it.

Can regular users combine threads? or do you have to be a moderator to do that?

Vet: 2 definitions. 1. Short for veteran. 2. Short for veterinarian.

If we look at the "newest addition to the 2008 KOP," the second definition starts to make more sense:

I wouldn't worry about this.
And I wouldn't get stuck on one definition of vet.

Look at the regionals and compare the numbers of new teams and veterans teams.
It varies according to regionals so it would vary in the competitions.

Options could mean something just as they have for several seasons but please don't get hung up on any assumptions that would cause rookie mentors' blood pressure to spike! :)

FRC Game Hint #3
Vet hurdling FIRST tetra

One tetra, not tetras

Thus not a return of triple play, where there were many.

That picture of Paul on top of the center tetra...
The obelisks at copley square, the way it reminded me of 04's main support for the hang bar

I have a real odd feeling that some form of "King of the Hill" is going be a part of this game. There prolly will be a tetra in the middle... a bit bigger than '05.

That' all I have to say with regards to this hint. I'm baffled otherwise.
