Wanna put some money down on that Jane? I bet you a certain Mr Martus can (and will) kill the signal sometime tomorrow evening for about 30-60 minutes. I just hope the transition goes well and things can be shiny on kickoff.

If CD is down, it won't stop the chatter, er, signal.

No bets. I'd win.

O.K so what is left to dissect on this hint that we haven't yet?
*crickets*

I've been wondering ... (and thats always a bad thing :yikes: )

What if the items on that list aren't the clue, but instead its the fact that it is a list that is the clue. It might signify sorting of some kind.


... Just a thought

Or maybe they are both part of the clue?
The list certaintly wont be a lie, so we can count on high speed counters being used on the field. But yes, i would think "sorting" or "stacking" is going to be a theme in this game.

maybe the field, like the list, has rows and columns.They could be different scoring areas or something.

Instead of inner tubes or balls or tetrahedrons, it will be a water balloon game, where robots have to take as many water balloons they can from their side and carry them across to the other side and dump them on the opponent's side. different color balloons are in different places and count for different points (similar to this year's game), and balloons may not leave your robots frame except in certain areas near the bins where you are placing/picking up water balloons. :p

Or maybe it is a boring game just like all the others in previous years, no water, no fire, no fun :rolleyes:

Well then, I guess your haven't seen the extremely high speed stacking the robots did in 2003! :p

I think this year, we will build a robot that will pelt the opposing alliance with the balloons and "clean" their electronics.

Well, that technically is gracious professionalism. Where outside of FIRST will other teams gladly help you wash your robot and clean out your electrical board?

yes, people do have such dirty electronics, I mean, why do they think they need that ugly, gray, blocky battery? And the red and black strings coming out of everything? I mean, it's so boring. They really need some pretty yellow and white to lighten things up.

Your smiley is awesome. Maybe you could send it to Brandon Martus and ask him if he could fit it into the group of choices.

Who knew that the first hint would be the last? I was hoping for more since I enjoy watching everyone dig for the truth. Bill, here's hoping you do better next year! More hints! I also miss Dave's red herrings. Both wound up our brains (and, to a certain extent, our virtual mouths where we say things that we know are way out in left field, maybe not even in the ball park) and kept the CD rumor mill forum humming. ;)
