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).

Josh Drake 01-12-2011 09:07

Re: facebook clue?
 
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

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.

Not while playing the game, you're right. But if, I'm running down the hallway with a ball, it'd probably be tucked under my arm.

In anycase, it's not even a game hint, it's a kick off hint. If anything, I can imagine an elf running down the hall with a kinect or two under their arm, possibly taking it to film a demo shown at Kick-off.

"Okay... we felt your pain. We heard your pleas. We worked through the NIGHT to extract ANY kind of hints from FRC staff." Kind of makes it seems like a game hint, I haven't seen any pleas for a kickoff clue.

RSS Feed from the blog, Text alerts from FB. Checking FIRST's website is about the most frustrating thing...

None of this takes very long. Or you could be like me and live under a rock in a cave and refuse to care about game hints. I suggest it, helps to keep me comparatively sane.

With all of our combined abilities to build robots, I don't know why we don't just build a robot that crawls, flies, or otherwise infiltrates the FIRST HQ building so we can get our own hints without the ambiguous nuance that comes with a so-called 'Elf Bot'.

People also tuck books under their arms.

Well, lets be more realistic, more than just footballs are carried under an arm. What about small boxes? or telescopes? (still going with the titanic prediction)

Some sort of football game on regolith?


On another note, if this, "Just saw an elf run by with an FRC Kickoff clue tucked under his arm. Hmm, the new year must be approaching!" is hinting to anything at all, it could either be a football (or rugby ball) or present. What else would an elf carry around under their arm?

And the robot telling us that there are no hints yet looks like something we would see in the game animation (minus its santa hat).

DSM33 01-12-2011 18:33

Re: facebook clue?
 
Well, I think these posts clearly point to a football based game. Under the arm, running, "Kick-Off" clue. OCCRA (the Oakland County high school robotics league) had a game with footballs in 2008. Don't remember all the details since I was but a wee freshman before my first FRC season but it involved launching them.... or that's what the 33 team back then built.

On the Elfbot...
I immediately thought minibot and the wheels and appendages make me think of a more intricate minibot this year. or maybe it's just a design choice by FIRST. Or I could be over-analyzing the entire situation and slowly driving myself insane even before anything has actually started! :p

THAT'S IT!!! :yikes: THIS YEAR'S GAME IS A SOCCER GAME! Teams will be in alliances of 3 each, the field will have 2 bumps 1/3 the way across from each side of the field, and at the end the robots must hang themselves on the towers!

It's GENIUS!

Most people have an account on Facebook, plus I'm pretty sure some people don't have internet, doesn't stop them from releasing it online.

I'm certainly not saying that Marketing staff doesn't know ANYTHING... you're completely correct. I'm just saying I didn't think they would have enough of a connection to the game to make word choices that directly outline a 'hint'... or that they would even intend to do that. :)

True, but nobody here has any idea either, and it seems that as soon as somebody posts some outlandish theory, it's instantly Gospel.

That's why the 2012 game pieces will be herrings and bananas.

As a rugby player I sincerly hope it isn't, there are regularly shortages of low end ($20) rugby balls in the US in Jan/Feb as well as September as teams order in buld for their season, adding in another 1000+ teams would certainly not help the situation.

It is probably not worth noting but in Rugby you spend less time carrying the ball under arm than in football as it is a position only used for carrying into contact. When running the ball is either held against the forearm, or out in front.

A Freudian slip?

On a different note, I think the hint means that our robots will have to carry minibots known as "footballs." Like the President's Nuclear Football, the minibots will contain buttons that cause something to explode, perhaps a game piece or a pile of gamepieces. Each alliance will have the goal of knocking one of their opponents footballs loose, pressing the button, and exploding their pile of gamepieces, thus putting them into play. They will then have to push these gamepieces (tennis balls) into goals.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I don't think FIRST is going to have explosions on the field, or anywhere near the robots anytime soon. Or for that matter, anytime at all.

Good thinking, though! No idea is a bad one, so please think more!

EDIT: Forgot to mention. This isn't a game hint. We decided that a while ago.

I disagree. If a team is able to build a full-sized robot that can compete in an FRC competition, then building a minibot out of FTC parts should be easy.

Throwing a football accurately, however, would be difficult. You would have to propel it forwards, make it spin to keep it accurate, and be able to pick it up and load it (just not in that order). This would involve various mechanical components to pick up, orient, load, and aim the ball, potentially some type of pneumatic something-or-other (I'm on Electrical, can you tell?) to propel or load it, some way to spin it without slowing it down much, and probably half a dozen other things I can't think of.

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

think of throwing the football like a pitching machine in baseball... of course in baseball the way you throw it doesn't matter as much but if you can spin high placation wheels and get them up to speed then jam a football in, you could get the propulsion and direction,spin with controlling the speeds and direction of the wheels

To get the spin like a spiral in real football, you could use a bored barrel to shoot the balls. Also, there's only been one game hint. There's only one football on the field at once. The lack of a game hint is a game hint in itself!
