http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/ After reading this blog, i was wondering how many people actually sent in an idea? I did and i saved the email to prove next years game was my idea.:D

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

Actual hint or red herring?

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

The fact that they mentioned it this early leads me to believe they are not going to do that.

Let's assume red herring. Think of the rookies -- No way on Earth will every rookie waterproof their robot perfectly. And I'd put money on veterans messing up, too.

Wonder who's playing in Texas and where... ?

hm...

What is bolded in that paragraph is what sticks out to me. Connect them as you wish :p

(There's more to the blog post, but I'm sick of trying to find hints in the GDC's favorite foods)

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

Maybe if the people that sent in ideas would post them than we might be able to figure the game.

JC Penny is hosting a scrimmage for all of their store managers that are in Dallas today for their annual meeting. There are 8 teams attending from the area. 148 included. Mostly the managers are walking around checking out the robots in the pit area they have set up, but there will be 3 matches 2 vs. 2.

Thank you!
That's AWEsome!
I read this on the FIRST website: http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/content.aspx?id=17361
It looks like a great opportunity.
Do you know the teams that have attended the scrimmage? I bet they've had a blast.

Thanks again, Adrienne!

As much as I don't think were gunna get much out of them yet, as they still have 4 games left. However I'm sure there having fun teasing us with this post with some obvious hints at a water game.

Idk if this is a hint or not... but they are no longer on the ground floor, look at the last paragraph

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

It's not. The ground floor is where they do their "fun" activities, from what I hear, so it just means that they're off elsewhere doing other things--like thinking up the one rule that will be thrown out in Week 1 due to being totally unreasonable/unenforceable.

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

T49: Due to safety concerns, robot operators are not allowed to exceded 2.5 mph while approaching their controls during the start of the match. Anyone exceding this speed will recieve a yellow card on their first offense, and DQ for their second offense, and must wear the cone of shame for the rest of the day.:yikes:

It really is a tough job though that the GDC has having to consider that some 1800 teams will be testing their ideas and boundaries fo the rules.

Re: (BB) 6-14-10
 

Can you provide a frame of reference against which the 2.5 MPH restriction will be compared?

Our team's strategy depends on this rule.
