Game hints for FRC...

This logic is slightly flawed as it assumes that all pieces in first choice have something or another to do with the game. The graphics cards, saws, and thermometers and such are just a couple of things that will most likely not make their way onto your machine, but are perhaps just something nice to pick up.

I remember last year for Rebound Rumble there was lots of speculation on how "very fast counters" would be used for the game, but our team's guess was totally off. If you've had success, would you mind sharing some tips?

Game hint analysis is usually...a longshot. Awhile ago, I likened trying to figure out the game to shooting a faraway target with a shotgun. Trying to figure out a game hint, is a similar scenario, except now you have a pistol.

The target's still a mile away, the weather conditions are still horrible, etc. While everyone takes multiple shots, there's no way of knowing if someone actually hit anything until you get close enough to see if (kickoff).
