Re: 2013 Game Hint!

How about switching Rick Rolled to Egg Rolled. Eggs made an appearance twice that I know of at world championships out of place. One was on a fact sheet given to VIP escorts saying how many eggs were used at the world champs, and another appearance was made in the (Friday?) opening ceremony video. I'd watch out for egg shaped game pieces in the 2013 game.

EDIT: I've also learned there is something called a "3 minute egg" which would refer to the video being stopped at 3 minutes.

Now this sounds likely. What was the game where robots had to climb on top of eachother?

EDIT: The game I found was rack n roll. Possibly combining with the fact that "rack n roll" is similar to "rick roll".

Were going to have the rack n roll end game? Does that sound not good?

I doubt another tube game two years after logomotion.

Yes, they feed us volunteers a ton of food... And the mountain of eggs in the morning helps keep the inspectors happy!

LEGO exhibit containing about 3 million LEGOs.

The first 3 LEGO brick colors were are Red, Yellow, and Blue.

The FIRST logo is found in 2 of the photos along with Dean Kamen being mentioned.

Oh and theres this in the caption of one of the photos, "The completed project with approximately three million LEGO bricks,
running water and trains is now on permanent exhibit at the SEE Science Center."

LEGO themed water game?

Pins are a symbolic equation: elevating your teammate equals scoring the uber game piece...

My guess would be the geo-tag is only referring the building the science center is in - Mill Number 3. If you look at the south side of the building there is also a large number 3 on the side, only adding to the references to 3.

Lego's are a little to small for an audience pleasing game peace, Maybe mimibots made of legos?

I just had to counter this statement... a quick search of google images turns up some possible solutions, like:

I know I played with some gigantic Lego's growing up, ones that are at least as big as the balls we had this year!
