facebook clue?

From the FIRST fb page.... "Just saw an elf run by with an FRC Kickoff clue tucked under his arm. Hmm, the new year must be approaching!"

This one is too easy, footballs will be the game piece.;)

Close - the official game piece will be a vintage 1972 rugby ball used in gameplay in New Zealand. They should be easy to find - Piggly Wiggly keeps them in inventory (unless for some reason they're out of stock, or you don't happen to live in one of the 18 states that has a Piggly Wiggly ...)

Re: facebook clue?

It certainly fits the "based on a real sport every other year" trend. However, I feel a non-circular ball game piece may be a bit difficult to work with (especially for new teams).

There always seems to be some aspect for the new teams to still contribute.

Silly Facebook! Elves don't play football! They participate in elvish activities such as making toys, preparing Santa's sleigh, and WWE wrestling.

Learn your facts Facebook!

Plus, how can you hold a game hint? :D

"Coming soon. And that's it."

Mission not complete! We'll keep working on it...

Second thing posted on FIRST's wall. I don't believe that there's a way to directly link to it. (Or I don't know how)

The Director of FRC (Bill Miller) posts about once or twice a week with a little bit of what's going on.

After thinking this through, I've come up with a few thoughts.

1) It says an FRC Kick-off clue. Not necessarily an FRC Game Clue. This could be completely irrelevant to the Game itself, just something new at Kick-off. Also, the follow up post made by FIRST said that they did not have a game clue yet.

2) You don't really carry a football under your arm, it's more tucked against the chest. Soccer and Basketball players often take team photos with a ball tucked under their arm though.

You don't carry either one of those under your arm when running, though. Especially when playing the game--it's a handball in soccer and traveling in basketball.

I'd go more with the rugby ball--they're more likely to carry under the arm.
