There is no plausible way for FIRST to let a cRIO near water. (Thus why no liquid of any sort is allowed in the pits) so if a water is to be used, it would have to be in an enclosed environment. Even then I don't think it will happen due to the consequences of an accident.

A person can drown in just 3 inches of water too..

Water in the pits is usually restricted by the venue, not because FIRST doesn't want water near the cRIO

The "water game" is a long-standing joke. Forget the CRio, anyone who thinks that 12V, 90+ amp batteries and water will ever mix in any venue wherein lawyers and sane people have input is kidding themselves!

Mull is a word for certain types of fertile soil. This year's field, therefore, will feature a dirt (or mud) playing field.

Personally, I don't think there are hints there. The GDC just loves making us worm around. Plus, I'm not in the mood for a game hint. Give it a week or so, and then I'll be ready. I'm waiting for an official game hint from FIRST, especially with all of the weird ideas I've seen before. I remember someone on the 2011 thread was talking about robots eating other robots, even AFTER a hint was released!

Call me up when a real hint is released, or when Dave Lavery starts commenting on this thread. THEN things will get interesting!

It may or may not be a hint but you never know. Even if it is not, it's still good practice for when the "official hints" come out.

We all need to "practice" our skills at making totally wild guesses about a game that we will all find out about at the same time regardless of whether or not we were able to guess what it is!

Last year's hint should have been, "Yo, dawg, I heard you like robots, so I put a robot in your robot so you can robot while you robot!"

You're right that's its a long-standing joke. But you are wrong that it can't happen.

I'm sure FIRST will figure a way to do it someday.

Bill does seem to love mentioning the word pool and he said in 1 blog that there will be Monumental elements in the 2013 game.

Idk bout ya, but i predict the involvement of water in some way for 2013

If its a water game that would explain this:

They didn't want water in their facilities!

I didn't say it can't, I said it won't.

I've been wrong before on predicting what FIRST will do, but I'll be downright shocked if I see FIRST doing a water game at any point in my lifetime.

There are sane people at the venues? I had no idea.
