'Flash' discussion

[Sean Raia]

I totally missed the uUu thing! Yes, this is starting to fit together. In one of bills older posts he said "a peak behind the curtain" but the way he spelled peak is like a slope or mountain not like a sneak PEEK.

Actually, he accidentally misspelled it initially, and then knowing the CD community (and seeing their reaction), he intentionally played with the capitals today to make everyone think there was something there.

Flat field!

I have no inside knowledge of whether or not anything I said in this post is actually true.

Whoa! Nice find!! hmm so there's a ramp this year?

[Guppy294]

We'll know for sure on Saturday. X.X but that'd be my best guess.

[mdiradoorian]

Definitely a nice find

hm... this reference to "Flash" after I just read another CD thread about "Luminary". A light will be a central theme to this game. Maybe a tower with a light (the "Luminary") in the middle of the field and it "flashes" different colors for a king-of-the-hill type game?

The link to GH#1: Maybe this central indicator is turned on by firing a ball through something sensed by "IR" and a "very high speed counter"?

Did anyone else see some text from FIRST anywhere involving references to light?

in the first hint there's a lot amount of lights things compared to years in the past. then comparing that to "flash" we've been guessing LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS..... we're all to excited and can't wait till kickoff!

On the other hand, Bill's post about the field indicated that it was not light at all... we know for a fact it is unusually heavy!

[bhaidet]

maybe the weight is in the mountings for the lights? or the uUu ramp?

I just realized that "flashpoint" would make a great game name.

Since I haven't posted my usual "wiseguy theory" for this years clues...

Flash, hmmm...,
The Flash is the favorite superhero of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory...
Sheldon is a theoretical physist focusing on quantum mechanics and string theory...
String theory is just a smokescreen for string cheese which is Bill Miller's favorite snack.
Hmmm... snack makes someone my age think of the snack pack pudding containers we ate when we were kids.
I have it!

The game will be called Bazinga! and be played on a field of pudding. The goal will be to harvest string cheese from said pudding.

Know what you can make FLASH?

One of Dean's lightbulbs.

good one.

Based on the number of control tower lights in amber compared to the other control tower lights, and the flashing reference, I have a strong hunch this game is a flashback to 2008.

I hope the game includes lots of Queen song references. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNf9rEPoc8Q

Game name, anyone? Maybe a mash-up of a few different classic FRC games?
