[1086VEX]

i think most points have been covered at this point. i think the first 2 lines refer to the 3 grammys won by seal to go along with the other 3's in the clue. my guess is that this refers to the game name in same way (triple replay?! with the past 2 years i wouldnt put it past FIRST) or a feature of the game (3 zones or something like that). not much else to get from the 3's.

the holding weight along with the AM 3 motor gearboxes and the "never gonna let you down" of rick astley points toward to a lifting game such as 07.

the one thing that i didnt see touched on much is the "dinner missed". my best guess for that is that there will be multiple end games where choosing to lift may prevent you from doing another, whatever it is (multiplier ball/tetra that only scored during allotted lift time for example). this would balance out lifting and could lead to several strategies where a lifting alliance could be beat by a non lifting alliance. this would definitely be targeted towards the regional level where lifting bots are in short supply making the contest more competitive.

thats my 2 cents
