A "Song that never ends" implies a never ending circle, or a ring. My guess is that we'll be playing a form of ringtoss.

First a hurricane, and now ringtoss. Will the madness never cease!?!?
Ahh!!!! the robots will have to be shaped like a Mobius strip, NOOOOOOOO!

Serciously, this fits perfectly, floppies on batons! It's like the '03 stacking, but you pick up a baton and stick floppies on it and place it in a slot! Maybe the floppies are raining down from the roof like snow?

Did you miss the caption contest before that one? This was fully explained there. It's not a hint.

Just because it wasn't [HINT]marked[/HINT] or flowed from natural conversation does not mean that it is not a hint. Dave can be a devious guy.

If he was more straight forward then maybe people wouldn't feel they have to analyze every word he posts. He could just add the following disclaimer to all his non-hint posts. "There are no Game hints in this post. If any supposed hints should be found in this post after the release of the 2006 game, they were completely unintentional" We know we can trust Dave on this. While I have observed occasions where he may have allowed somebody else to talk themselves into something that wasn't quite true, I have never know him to be knowingly false.

There you go Dave, the path to freedom from over analysis. Isn't fame grand!

Are we sure? He didn't use the recommended disclaimer...

Does this mean the we will have something along the lines of doing something to mislead the opposistion during the game?

Joking aside, deception is just a part of competitive strategy. If I can get you to think that whatever you're doing will prevent me from accomplishing my goals, when it will not, then I've wasted your time and possibly done more.

The red thing in the picture is a floppy. They were the game objects in 1999. They are like funny shaped beanbags, with the black center and black ring being velcro.

Perhaps the Batons will be made out of ICE ! After the game they'll just melt into the carpet and disappear, reducing clean up and field reset time. Maybe all those puddles are where the viking ship comes from??? ;-)

Once again Mr. Lavery has put out a hint that proves their will be team work. However, I think this may be a way of saying there will be teams, but you can also work for the other side if you know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nidge, hint hint . If this is true, look for a lot of fighting in the pits come game time. Maybe first will ban power tools so we won't kill each other.

That has always been there. If you think back to coopertition. Helping out your competitors. Thats why they have the ranking points where it is based off the other teams score to ensure a close game

It is close enough for me. Now the question is will we be graciously professional enough to take him at his word? Right now it doesn't look like it to me.

How unfortunate
