No official FIRST game hint yet??

[Elgin Clock]

No 70's song lyrics yet???

No math formula's yet???


What's up with that????


When is the official game hint going to be given out this year??
Or is there even going to be one??

Didn't you hear? After 2004, they aren't having a new game anymore.

I've searched through all lavery's recent posts and nothing comes to mind...the only trend is that he has been using links alot lately, although that could just be to due to offseason boredom. Maybe the game has something to do with linking the robots to a part of the field, or to be more difficult, to each other? But past that, nothing really jumps out at me.

maybe the game includes some kind of chains (chain links).

maybe there will be some kind of connectable scoring object. say small boxes, each with a kind of connecting piece. push the boxes to snap them together. score in clusters as a multiplier.

maybe he is hinting at a Legend of Zelda-themed game...

Never a regular, the speedy, slick-fielding Detroit first baseman entered the record books on May 31, 1927. With two Cleveland runners on, Neun nabbed Homer Summa's line drive and tagged Charlie Jamieson off first. Then, ignoring his shortstop's shouts to throw the ball, he dashed toward second and tagged the bag before Glenn Myatt could get back. Neun had executed the major leagues' seventh unassisted triple play. The sixth had been turned the day before, by Cubs shortstop Jimmy Cooney.

triple play?!? well also giving fuel to the fire here was Car Nack's prediction

Car Nack has spoken

so the alliance structure is definitely changing....triple play?!? maybe 3 teams 1 v 1 v 1? maybe 3 on 3.....it has something to do with three i just know it

I agree, I think that the game this year maybe has something to do with 3 teams and also with maybe smaller balls (not particularly baseballs... but something of that size). These are rather interesting predictions but you can never know anything for sure ... is it time to know yet??

Yah, I've been wondering myself, although there was this one. Maybe Dave's getting worried we're getting too good at deciphering his clues.
Personally last year, those clues had me thinking BIG stairs. The Vmax thing had me thinking we'd be shooting something up but had to control the speed. Then the stairway to heaven just verified that Dave was a hippy.
So now he's using philosophy related to dessert, and then left it at that.... I hope he's not going to turn FIRST into a donut eating contest

Back in the old days, we didn't have clues, and we liked it!

...and we pushed our robots uphill to the field. Both ways! And we didn't have any of those fancy motorized carts!

That was only 2 seasons ago in Texas


Maybe the hints are just so subtle they don't yet exist!

Don't you remember when we didn't have a roof over our heads? Spectators, that is.
