Nobody's taking me seriously? :(

I swear we have to battle transformers too.

So we need to do the math here. Kara, you're the design lead, figure it out . If we take the force in newts of an unladen African swallow + 1/2 the bouyancy of the floating wood - the weight of the witch (eating ice cream)
I think a cracker jack answer here would include the phrase "I got better"...btw, perhaps for the qualifying matches they should just ask teams to "bring out your dead".

Well, I'm impressed. The Gearheads can get blood from a turnip. Not to say Mr. Lavery is a turnip by any means.

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Pssst, Kara. I'm pretty sure the answer is blue...I mean yellow AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Anyway, I think that the game might require robots that resemble massive wooden bunnies with BIG SHARP TEETH to deliver shrubberies to the heart attack prone cartoonist. Holy hand grenades probably won't be permitted though (cause to many flesh wounds).

Oh and don't be silly Mr. Leslie. Everyone knows FRC teams at comps are "not dead yet".

Andrew: That's because Camelot is a silly place.

I saw a post about hard water...

Isn't hard water radioactive, and just a few drops will kill you? :eek:

(Haha, the one day I paid attention in chemistry!)

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Hmm not according to wiki.
Are you sure that you aren't thinking of heavy water?

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

You are right, heavy water.

Well, I *kind* of paid attention, okay? :p

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Crackerjacks - come in a plastic bag
Haagen-Dazs cups - are cardboard
Diet Coke Cans - made of aluminum

I agree with a "go green" theme and sorting items but that still doesn't explain...
which references the Monty Python Scene from the holy grail

Man this thread went crazy.


So after a long day on the express register and seeing at lest 15+things of Haagen Daza ice cream and too much diet coke, i thought of a couple of ideas.

Like what was mentioned earlier about ice cream containers getting smaller, and possibly the crate sizes which means smaller robot dimensions. I then thought of this- What do most people do when they go on a diet. Change to diet soda, which in most cases in diet Coke.

So my thoughts are smaller crate size/robot size (Haagen Dazs containers getting smaller) and less robot weight (Diet Coke)

my ideas

stacking things won't be that interesting. What should be done is manuvering around while trying to score.

I dunno. Stacking's gonna be hard, but it would definitely be interesting to see those robots.

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Stack Attack, 2003. It was generally acknowledged that the attacking part was easier than the stacking part, and the King-of-the-Hill at the end was a warzone.

It was an interesting game, but wasn't played like it should have been.

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Ever watch 2005?

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

sadly, i havent. care to explain?

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Stack pyramids on bigger pyramids. Nobody really went for the 10-point home-zone bonus. Oh, yeah--you were also playing tic-tac-toe, trying to get as many rows as possible.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Zwir1pwbw Might help, 2005 was actually a pretty exciting year. The game design was good but the pieces were... well I just wasn't a fan.
