2003 field revealed??

[Hailfire]

Actually, believe it or not, that is what the playing field looks like this year. I was at the Novi Kick-Off today.

What??? - The drawing looks nothing like the field. There are NO Balls in the game but they are in the pic. There is NO ramp in the pic. Aside from the fact that it's square and used the standard alliance format, it's a complete fake.

Chill- don't be so gullible- Hailfire is obviously pulling your leg. As a matter of fact, I think he may have ripped it off.

The really ironic part out of all of this is the fact you people seem to forget all about what FIRST is really about as you sit here bashing eachother.

For the past 3 days (including today), I've been helping set up for this year's kickoff. I was also out on stage today. I was the girl in the red shirt @ the driver's station. I've known what the challenge was since Thursday. It was pretty funny (and sad) to get on these forums after discussing them with some of the employees from FIRST. I so badly wanted to get on Thursday night and say "I know what the challenge is. Quit the pointless bashing! You're all mostly wrong."

As we all know, we have the capabilities and the knowledge to get on here, and post a well fabricated rumor, including pictures, diagrams, .pdf files and everything. Anyone of us could get on here and do that. Pointing a finger at the do-er is POINTLESS! It accomplishes nothing, except for your own personal satisfaction that you caught someone intelligent enough to create their own idea for a years challenge.

Just remember next year, around kickoff time. Discuss the challenge, criticize concepts, but don't bash eachother. Do that, and you've missed what FIRST is all about.

Actually, I saw that picture directly from the Us FIRST website. Also, how could I rip it off? I'm on a complete rookie team. I don't know anything about this stuff.

Sorry- I thought you were referring to BadBrad's field, not the actual one-

[Katie Reynolds]

Scorpion: Chill. The rumor mill is supposed to be fun, and it's kind of neat to see people's ideas for the current year's game.

Hailfire: The picture Brad made was fake - the real one is posted on the FIRST homepage.

Brad: Interesting drawing. Looked pretty real at first!!

Everyone: Like Brad said, lighten up - this is what the rumor mill was created for ... not for people to bash each other, but to have a little fun.

- Katie

Whoops!

- I now realise what you ment!

I never saw the last immage that team222badbrad posted. (The actual drawing of the field.) I thought that you were talking about the first fake pic.

Now, yes... The pic that was attached IS the offical drawing for this years game.

Sorry all

PS: Hailfire don't think that just becasue SCHS is new they won't be good or that you don't know anything. - Heck, RHS has had some pretty bad bots after quite a few years. (But... personal note: 201 will be winning the champ. this year )

[Aignam]

Halifire obviously has not been reading the entirety of the post. He is referring to the correct diagram that was posted, not badbrad's fake.

BTW: I don't think Brandon made the Rumour Mill for the purpose of making up false information to get people all worked up. His intent was most likely to have a place for real, serious users to post information that they may have discovered.

[Hailfire]

Yeah, now you know. Now at least the anger died down.

Don't count on it. We already have some good ideas planned for some possibilities we could use for being both offensive and defensive. Remember what the video said at Novi? "Don't underestimate the power of rookie teams"

You might be our alliance partners - Then we would both win.

[Hailfire]

Yeah, and that would be a good thing too.

As an avatar of the great goddess of grammar (Heil Apostrophe!), I am obligated to point out for your educational benefit the great error made in the following quote.

SORRY TO ALL WHOM BELIEVED THIS FOR A WHILE!!!

The objective form of the relative pronoun should never be used as a subject of a sentence as whom is used here. Let this be a lesson to all ye evil doers in this world!

Heil Apostrophe!

You should never talk off the field. That is the one thing that i have never done. If you have anything to say, 1) It's not within FIRST Gratious Professionalism 2)You should never speak, you never know when your robot is gonna break down...

And NEVER SAY WHO IS GOING TO WIN UNTIL YOU HAVE WON!! You can start flame wars...

Comon now...
