Aha, here's the reason for the 97 collision!

Hard to tell: the riddle sounds like the rose received the kiss, rather than the rose did the kiss.

"SINGER GREAT"......

.....He won an award for "Best Male Pop Vocal"

Triangles have 3 sides...

Tetras?

The pairs aren't element numbers as far as I can tell. Got nowhere.

[EOC]

If you google each of those numbers individually, most of them don't turn up anything... but 88274153 has quite a few hits!

88274153:

It is alarming that each image is related to water.

Well, as a proud Mexican I know a thing or two about this madness that involves the Mayan calendar. For the Mayans the number twenty was very important, indeed their numerical system is based in the number twenty (I case you didn't know Mayans still exist in the south of Mexico). The Mayans had two calendars, one of 260 days for ritual purposes and another of 365 days (they really were excellent astronomers, the calendar was pretty accurate for that time). The calendar of 365 days consisted of 18 months with 20 days each, the final five days of the year were considered as "unlucky days" and didn't figure in any month.

I hope this information helps someone his search for the meaning of the hint, and if that is not the case, at least you know something more about the Mayan culture

Somebody please verify!!

Running with this (because it seems to be the most solid thing we have so far):

A ROSE, KISSED
SINGER GREAT

Maybe someone with more of an literary mind-set might elaborate on how the ROSE portion is significant, but I think this is in reference to Rick Astley. ("Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down").

A DINNER, MISSED
HOLDING WEIGHT

Let's see, A DINNER, MISSED, perhaps this means that the robot will not be able to consume game pieces, ie intake pieces. HOLDING WEIGHT is interesting because it ties back into the Rick Astley song. Maybe this indicates that lifting/holding other teammates will grant you end-game points?

EDIT: This was simple substitution EXCEPT that '97' stands for both G and T. See discussion below.

i looked it up its a titanic quote,

water game

[coalhot]

My theory: singing robots.

[BigJ]

I think we can confirm the pi-cipher

This seems very plausable and realistic based on what FIRST has done in the past, and also goes with the whole arm game idea, which this would most likely be if robots cannot intake game pieces. I believe we are on to something, or else the GDC would have made a code that didn't work when trying to be processed the way this one was.

Something interesting is that if you add all the numbers in 12/21/12 you get 3/3/3...

As a previous poster pointed out:

A ROSE, KISSED
SINGER GREAT

Seal won 3 Grammys in '96 for the song "Kiss From a Rose". I refuse to believe this is a coincedence!

So I was looking at the KoP site. Veterans are getting two extra boxes with the KoP this year. The first one has a density of about 81.8 lbs/ft cubed. The second box has a density of about 76.0 lbs/ft cubed. These are heavy boxes.

Note: The rookies are also getting a box the same size as the veteran box two, however their's only weighs 3 lbs, not 10 lbs.

Anyone think these could be game elements?
