Water game

[tcotton13]

Of course it's going to be a water game look at all the factors: On the hint the first part number was 1492, like columbus that has to do with water if you didnt know!!

[R2D2DOC]

That sounds plausible:

(1) 1492, Columbus sailed with his alliance of three ships
(2) 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh sailed to the new world in search of new settlements and other things (gold)
(3) 1606, the Dutch discover Australia
(4) 1732, George Washington was born, revolutionary !! (bit of a reach)
(5) 1738, Daniel Bernoulli published his famous treatise HYDRODYNAMICA, also, the bottle opener is invented (a real reach . . .)

There are also the four digit numbers of 2711 and 9324, which I leave to the next generations(s).

I agree that there's a lot of water dealing with those numbers and it would be cool to have a water game. However, we are dealing with FIRST and a water game seems unlikely.

One thing that I have noticed with those numbers is a lot of numbers mentioned by R2D2DOC deal with exploration, discovery, or invention. Of course, 1732 is an odd number as the only thing that I could find was President Washington's birthday. Maybe it deals with a revolution of ideas?

Can I just /facepalm this thread? No, maybe that's a little mean.

You forgot the big 100th anniversary of the Titanic! I agree with TofuRama, though, that there is more evidence of an exploration-themed or rather unnavigable field than of a field with water.

And honestly, who could tolerate a game where the field wouldn't stop leaking? Because this is FIRST, and a lot of professional design work and manufacturing care always gets turned into a duct-tape mess by volunteers and high schoolers.

I enjoy the water game speculation as much as the next guy (or maybe poster), but it's obviously impractical and absurd.

I don't think I'll ever give up on a water game idea...haha

Give it up, it will NEVER happen. End of story!

To Admins/Moderaters/Brandon Martus-

Maybe I'm complaining too much, but can we please make a specific subforum purely for water game talk? Sure, the water game talk was humorous when andy baker or dave lavery cracked a joke about it years ago, but now, it's quite frankly annoying, old, and filling Chief Delphi with unnecessary, unhelpful threads. CD is supposed to be about helping people, right?

If anything, could someone please move this thread from CD Forum Support to Chit-Chat?

Just my thoughts/suggestions.

Nope, that's not it at all.

Give it up, it ALREADY happened. Don't believe me?

Rug Rage. (Wasn't the entire field, granted. But still...)

2009 had damp carpets at some events.
There was a watery demo in 1999 without a single failure.
I believe that one of the Florida offseasons had at least one year with a rather soaked field.

Actually, my first response to this thread (which I didn't post) was something to the effect of "N00B. Not worth the effort to respond at this time, especially with the placement." My second response was something to the effect of "obvious troll is obvious". My third response is seen above.

My current response, you ask? Y'all are officially certified as crazy, and sent outside to go play in the snow (or whatever ground covering you may currently happen to have in your area) until 1/7/12. Yes, you may come in to eat and sleep.

Maybe I'm hallucinating here, but wasn't there also a game wayyyyy back when (maybe rug rage) where the balls were filled with water? (Or, is that what you were referencing to when you said "Rug Rage. (Wasn't the entire field, granted. But still...)"

Precisely, my dear Watson.

listen up buddy!

[MrForbes]

Our robot doesn't mind being underwater...it's almost like she was designed for it!

[Andrew Schreiber]

Squirrel, would you mind posting a link to the blog about the build of that thing? I remember reading it but I seem to have lost the link.

Mods, consider this a second call to get this moved to Rumor Mill.

Excellent value added to the discussion with this comment.

The link in my signature will get you pretty close, but here's the main build, from 2010
