Rule 4. Add water to Rule 3.

Of course it could. There are 18 teams. So assuming that they don't repeat any of the numbers, and assuming they can use one team or all the teams to create a key, I'll leave the algebra up to you to realize that just that alone makes it improbable to try all the iterations :D

true but it narrows the options by a little bit. using only the teams and numbers compaired to ten numbers(0-9) and twenty-six letters twice (a-z, A-Z) based that they only us capitals of which the teams use capitals to start their name. yet I could narrow quite a bit.

I do not know all 18 of the beta teams other wise i might start looking into posiblities.

also they might stick with the simple version as they did this past year:
Drive!Right?Turn!LEFT?

or something like that it was posted earlier in this post.

So would I. Because even if a key was posted, the document it is supposed to unlock is probably no where near finished. I recall rumors of major changes having been made to previous games in the last week before Kickoff. Just one more reason for digital distribution ... it adds days to the "drop dead date"

Didn't see this posted yet, so here goes...
Non-game-specific parts of the manual now available at http://usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=452

Does this mean the return of human players?

I think the rule you quoted has been around for a while and is standard practice.

Even if a team was able to crack the encryption code, it would be thoroughly unfulfiling. It'd be like the preacher who played hooky from church one week to play a round of golf, and scored three consecutive aces. Sure, it's a great achievement, but who could he tell?
You may not be able to tell that you cracked it, but if I managed it by some miraculous feat I would post a ridiculously accurate prediction in a manner that made the game sound impossibly ridiculous (so no one would know I was serious) just so I can say I'm amazing with clues and use the famed cliche "I told you so"
