This is the amber light in the kit of parts. It's required to be located on the robot and connected to the RL output on the digital side car. With QTY (2500) that means that BOM item was placed in the KOP. That's alot of lights over the past 3 years I remember using them! Can you imagine being a part supplier for FIRST? You would need to supply QTY (2500) of the parts...wow..

Someone may yave previously said tyis but frankly im tooo lazy to read all this

I feel like i may have been the reason for this thread because i pointed out the flash in the will we ever get a second hint thread.

My idea was flash can be referred to as something quick. We have ahigh speed counter with photoelectric sensors so i think a high scoring fast game.

Or flash as in brief meaning a period of the match is shorter... oc or auto?

My idea for a game name is rapid fire

So maybe this is another hint. It's talking about how Dean Kamen will be joined by National Luminaries for KICKOFF 2012.
NOT A HINT- JUST ANOTHER AWESOME THING FIRST DOES FOR US.

They wouldn't post a game hint on another site, in fear of a leak, and because it would not be a logical choice to have the FRC students searching the internet for a game hint...

2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's voyage and resulting sinking.

The game will be called Knock Out and will be somehow related to boxing or boxes. A "Total Knock Out" will result in a great deal of bonus points.

Best thing I've heard all day, and I have no idea what it means.

afd0221: Those lights are the ones that attached to the digital sidecar, and used as the orange robot indicators. These always come in the KOP and are always the same model, I believe.
