Possibly senseless ideas:
- If you concatenate the post times (5:39 10:33 2:47), you get 5391033247, which is a Harshad number.
- If you rearrange the letters in #FRCKO, you can get frock, which is a type of clothing. (If it means anything, I think it is bag-and-tag)


More sensible idea:
- Like the above post, the u's go uUu, and the post times have a similar large-in-the-middle pattern.

What do you mean 'half of a slope'?

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Nothing FIRST does is unintended.

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Based on the example of Schrodinger's Cat, the field is both flat and bumpy... until it is measured at kickoff. ;)

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

never know This one could be intended

Flashlight?
A darkened field area, blocked from the operator's line of sight, where either a light and the regular camera or a Kinect can be used to navigate.

Flashpoint?
Robots that light stuff on fire.

Flashback?
A resurrection of a previous game.
The Titanic sinking.

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

The name of the parts gets longer as you go down the list forming half of a slope. Although i could think of an unintentional explanation for this anomally.

Sorry for the poor spelling, im in a hurry

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Holy cow, really?! (not sarcasm)

EDIT: Wait, I just looked at the hint again. No, it doesn't.

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Sarcasm? Because this is starting to make sense to me
I just took a look at it again... Its less slope like then it originally appeared, but its still a possibility

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Woah. Didn't notice that. Lol. I bet next year they wont tell us where the hints are and they'll expect us to find them within miscellaneous posts. We seem good at that.

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

True that

How dare you drag Quantum Mechanics into Robotics!

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

Flash is part of the name of the game. Lights on the field flash to indicate different segments of the game. For example, the base of the towers would flash near the end of the game.

In Hint 1 there were an awful lot of light-thingies that could be made to flash.

:rolleyes:

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

I've got it. Bill is actually making a prediction as to the winner of the Championship with all this talk about "flash" updates.

FRC1319, Golden Flash, from South Carolina. I remember they made Einstein a few years back, but I don't remember with whom or what year.

You may all go insane trying to figure out this new angle...



...but the only thing you're angling for is red herrings!

Re: 'Flash' discussion
 

I got it! Golden Flash 1319 is secretly on the GDC, breaking all the FRC unspoken codes we know and love! We must find them and extract information. WE SHALL DISCOVER THIS GAME.after the game is posted on kickoff day....
