Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Another stab at word meanings:

VET:

3.to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc.:
An expert vetted the manuscript before publication.

Hurdling-verb:

something immaterial that stands in the way and must be circumvented or surmounted;
"lack of imagination is an obstacle to one's advancement"

FIRST:

www.usfirst.org

tetraacronym)

Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) is an open digital trunked radio standard for professional mobile radio users.
TETRA is defined by the European... Motorola (FIRST sponsor) is a big player in this market.

FIRST is using TETRA for their radio communications this year. Maybe Motorola is supplying the radios.

The IR board will be the obstacle to overcome to score points.

The GPS? coordinates may be something off the wall to throw us off, or they may be camera settings for a new color of target.

My 2 cents.
