This is from the first page of this thread.

Have you ever seen those boats that tow logs near logging camps? Like these:



Sticky = sticks, which come off of logs.

Maybe lake as in water game?
Robots are boats that have to drag logs into their zones. These logs will gather X amount of points. More advanced robots can pick up the logs and move them to conveyors along the perimeter of the field. These are worth Y amount of points. There could be platforms (6 for 6 robots) around the outside of the field. The robots would have to pick themselves out of the water and move onto these platforms.

There's my crazy idea

One other thing too. Andymark just released a new wheel they will be rolling into their warehouse on their Facebook page.

Quoted from Facebook Page:
"We have a new wheel rolling into our warehouse four you!"

Picture of wheel:

This could easily have nothing to do with next year's game but still.

I'm also seeing the word "roll" a lot as well.

Looks like the Lunacy wheel material.

3rd alliance? Lunacy-looking wheel? Rick Astley? The GDC is trolling us.

Or at least...I hope they are.

Edit: They know the rules...and so do I.

I don't think so. You can see a bit of rubber that spilled from the mold towards the top left. The material from a lunacy wheel wouldn't do that. And why would they make a wheel with no traction in the same form of as a high traction wheel. I'm not sure what the deal is with the color change, but I think that's a 4 inch wheel.

A reoccurrence of the number 3 can mean anything, and even then, it could just be a big troll. 3 could relate to the field, a game element, a rule, etc.

Yes, what does the number three signify? Tell us, Data.
