Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

I think it is safe to say that the singing in fact worked. Bill announcing a game hint next week makes me go insane! My guess, since bill has been regularly posting every-other day, the game hint is going to come out thursday.

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Maybe the 2011 game will be a water game, but FROZEN water...hockey? snowball fight? Sledding? Skiing? hehe.

Mmm, some hot cocoa actually sounds delicious right now. Have you ever sprinkled cocoa mix on top of vanilla ice cream? SO yummy.

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

I doubt that water would stay frozen for long considering the tendency of our motors to overheat ::ouch:: (we kept a ice cooler in close range at all times to fix it between matches)

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Also considering the fact the cost to maintain frozen water in places like LA and San Diego, I highly doubt there will be any frozen water anywhere.

You can take some from NH. We're usually sick of it after a while.
Good luck making it last though.

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Considering the last 10 or so posts were about the weather... :rolleyes:

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Don't forget that we also have a regional in Hawaii :D

Of course, we do have snow on the Big Island of Hawaii from time to time, but the location of the regional is not there.

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

We in Israel easily get high 80s inside the arena during the regional, and the closest ice is in a not-so-friendly-neighbor. Although I'm definitely not gonna complain if we get ice :o

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Ice? I think we have been there, done that with Lunacy for the most part unless there is a really novel way to use it other than as the main floor surface. Which I have to admit would have the potential to be really awesome.

Something fun that you can do while you wait for the game hint(s) is find the event(s) that you are attending in CD-Events up at the top of the page and add that event to your signature by clicking on the Users coming option. (The 'teams coming' option doesn't work yet.)

edit: if you don't see your event listed - look on the left hand side under the events bar. Click on 'events' and that will take you to the pages. Find your event and click on 'details'. That will give you the option to add the event to your signature.

Well I don't think thats a very fair advantage for anyone up north.. Kinda mean to those who aren't used to much of anything but rain.. I heard schools get canceled for just a half inch of snow some places!!! :ahh:

And who doesn't have ice cream in the dead of winter? Maybe Michigan kinda are just used to the snow :D

-Totally fails to keep mind from the game hint and updates Bill's Blog JUST in case-

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Way cool, learned something new today. Thanks Jane!

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Instead of ice, maybe they will go the other direction. Off road! Suspension systems here we come...

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

I don't think the GDC would go there, considering 2009 was as close to a real Ice field as FIRST will probably ever get! I just think that games like that, especially when there is no real way to control yourself, are kinda like watching a 3-4mph wheelchair race. Hockey is great because the players have amazing maneuverability and control. The problem is, it would be very hard to do that with robots (But if there is a FIRST, there is a way).

Re: Waiting patiently for the 2011 hint!
 

Well, the hint is up. I think I might have been happier with no hint. This one is definitely a curve ball. :ahh:

Good luck and try to stay sane!
