Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

[Joe Matt]

YES! There is a clue now! YEAH! Here it is, not an exact quote though:

I was at the science center yesterday and I saw something that reminded me of next year game.

Now, my guess is that it's either the giant pendulum or the giant rotating ball in the front supported by the water you can push. Either that, or the DNA strand or the telsa coil.

[Scooter]

hehe....A giant tesla coil in the middle of the field..."Place opponent here."

He said that it was something at the VCU Engineering School, not at the Museum.

[Mr. Ivey]

No, I'm pretty darn sure he said at the Science Museum. If it were my guess it would have been something on the first floor, we all know Dave is a space buff, to say the very least... But i'm leaning in the direction of something in that area, or the flight area. Does any one remember the beach ball floating over the air blower. I'm wondering if you have a bot that can place a ball in that or remove a ball from something like that is part of the game. Either that or it has something to do with the pendulum.

The beach ball exhibit you're describing is a demonstration of the Bernoulli principle -- that which makes flight possible.

Using that sort of exhibit in a game, though, would seem somewhat silly. It is typically very unstable and the ball will begin to oscillate back and forth in the air, eventually losing lift and falling off to the side.

[Munkaboo]

Or maybe it involves paper airplanes.

[Stephen Kowski]

just more speculation nothing really substantial to go on.....they said toilet flange and we were stumped for a week...it is likely something he saw reminded him of next years game, but who's know it was an exhibit, he is just messing with you =)

could have seen a garbage can, it's round, therefore something in the game links with that......there is no telling what that statement meant best to just finish one year first....

[kjohnson]

Well I probably didn't hear it right. We were up most of the night keeping check on sick people. Got about two hours of sleep so I'm about to go lay down. Too tired...after all the screaming and yelling and coming so close...

[Alex Salomonsky]

I heard a rumor of no human player element next year

[Cory]

Have I lost my mind, or has the game for next year not even been decided yet?

To me, it seemed as though something in the museum gave him a thought and he came up with a game idea based on it.

[Lil' Lavery]

Wetzel might be right about the museum inspiring him, but he said he knows about next years game and what it is. It could be something about the collision balls possibly. Or maybe countless other things. Dont rely on me, check my misinfo post from b4 the season.

[tkwetzel]

He did say he knew what the game for next year was, but it seemed as though it was inspired by something in the museum. Lil' Lavery - Has Dave been to that museum before (and gotten an idea then)?

[mtaman02]

ok i'm not hear to burst anyones choppers about this. it was officially stated today by i believe mr.utaski at the NJ Regional that Dave will officially help design the games with dean and woodie. Thats and fact and is now well known after this year.

FIRST Frenzy : Raising the Bar - This is a two titled game there fore next year could be and not saying it will be a FIRST Frenzy : blank blank

So this could turn into a series.

However you guys just got done building and are now in the competition phase of the 2004 season, I think it's a lil too early to be posting rumors of 2005's game. You guys need to concentrate more on a stratedgy then on a new game. that is my best advice and im hoping i didn't hurt anyone by saying this. if i did i'm truly sorry but the "truth is the truth and that isn't a lie"

[Lil' Lavery]

Hes been there plenty of times...
