is this another game hint?

[mrmummert]

Hello...

Just for the heck of it i looked at the "Team Updates" on the FRC page and
oddly found updates for 11-26-13 (twice) and 11-27-13. They all say the same thing "three" times. Here is the link

http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/Updates/0#term%20112

They all seem to reference this past seasons game, but its odd...three
updates all saying the same thing...and all referencing "Section 3"
Could this be yet another hint?

More threes?

At this point, if these hints mean anything, I'm going to wager on either a 3-minute game or a 3-alliance game (sort of leaning more towards the latter, simply because it'd be a bigger departure from previous tradition).

A note on the three thing:

In almost any game, even after discounting 3 robots per alliance, there is something to do with 3. Examples:

2013: Three point goal, Three goals, three pyramid levels,
2012: 3 bridges, 3 point vales for hoops
2011: Three levels of racks, three shapes
2010: Drawing a blank
2009: 3 types of balls

Overall, it is VERY likely that the game will have to do with the number 3.

2010: Three Zones (Front, Middle, Back)

If "three" is actually a hint (which I doubt, as it seems way too close to something that would constitute useful information to be a FRC game hint), I think it'll be something really fundamental, like match length or number of alliances, for precisely this reason.

2008: 3 ways to score (lap, hurdle, place)
2007: 3 levels of elevating partners (0,30,60) and 3 levels of rack
2006: 3 periods?
2005: 3x3 grid


I'll leave 2004 to 2001 to someone else.

Well it is quite obvious that there is going to be 3 of something, it's just really hard to determine what.

[Jacob Bendicksen]

Not to break anyone's heart, but 3 is a great number for varying skill levels amongst teams. It just makes more sense than 2, and 4 is getting too complicated.

Maybe it means THREE FEET OF WATER

It could indicate that we'll have climbing (probably a different object) again for the same point values, which would be rather interesting.

definitely a game hint
Such a game hint
So many hints
Definitively a hint

One climbing game was enough for me

Well you see, I didn't even know what FIRST was in those years.

Or maybe the three states of water that will be on the field.
