It all makes since! 1319 is on the GDC this year and knows about the game early, so they WILL win einstein! Plus, according to <g34> in the 2012 manual, "Only FRC team 1319 may win the 2012 water game".

On a completely unrelated note: This is my 1000th post on CHief Delphi!

Well, as this older post stated, Billfred (from somewhere's around South Carolina...) IS in fact on the GDC, so maybe there's a connection?

I like "heft up salad" and "Asphalt feud" as possible game themes.

(also a few have the word "elf" in them....)

hmm. "Asphalt Feud", so the robots fight to maintain territory on a hard surface?

endgame is to send "flare lights" made by teams up a pole to save the ship, but it's a race. And the lights are minibots.

"Adapt Self Uh"
Robots will have to be completely autonomous, and adjust to changing field conditions, leaving the audience completely flabbergasted, and left only to mutter an unbelievable "Uhhhhhh."

I've got it!
Flash Update II and Flash Update III each have I's at the end.
There are 5 total I's.
The I's represent pillars or poles.
The pillars are based on the center of the field, which is a lump. (uUu)
Minibots can climb the pillars to knock gamepieces down and into play. (II III)
The gamepieces (tennis balls) must then be scored in goals on either side of the field in goals full of high-speed counters. (see Game Hint 1)
For bonus points, minibots can wear frocks. (#FRCKO)

... "heft up salad" ...

AND BEHOLD! I give you, the 2012 FRC Game Title!

Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Has he posted anything recently? Can we spam his PM box asking for hints? Not really. I'd never spam anyone's inbox! (Those who know me get the joke)

Interesting, there are 2603 anagrams of "flashupdate". 2603 is an FRC team in Ohio. Ohio is high in the middle, just like uUu.

That's actually kind of cool. And also an incredible stretch.

"feudal paths"? Interesting... I think we are down to three types of gameplay that are possible, and i expect two to be used.
Illumination.
Speed.
Slopes.

And then there is the group touting the football theory.
Sheesh, if this years robot designs are anything like our hint analysis we will have some VERY diverse robots

Of genius! So its not the Golden Flash!
