Sounds reasonable...

3 is obviously a very common occurrence this year. This is probably a stretch; but going off of 3...

The U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #3 hit of 1993 was "Can't Help Falling in Love" by UB40. The lyrics of that song are:

But I can't help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,
But I can't help falling* in love with you.

As the river flows
gently to the sea [Water Game!!!]
Darling so we go
some things were meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
But I can't help falling* in love with you. [*Falling - reminds me of up/down (from Rick Astley "hint"]

I can't help falling* in love with you [This line is repeated 3 times at the end of the song.]

I understand that this is very far fetched... I myself even doubt it's intentional, but who knows? This is just the fruits of an hour long drive on Friday night with two FIRSTers and two other guys up to the challenge... was good to have them there at a different viewpoint. (Because they're not involved with FIRST).

Take two key words from the Rick Astley song and a word associated with pi and you get "Up, Down & A Round"

The only re-occurring thing that I can draw something about the game from (Three is re-occurring, but it doesnt really mean anything at this point) is the constant mentioning of lifting, falling, or holding. I really think we will have a end game circa 2007 Rack n' Roll of lifting your opponents. Anything else said I really havent seen much evidence for.

As for the lifting:

-Rack n' Roll is similar to Rick Roll
-This hint mentions "Holding Weight"
-Rick Astley says "Never gonna let you down"
-Many mentions of falling from Seal

they could also be retrying the end game of lifting your alliance partners like in breakaway (2010)

[ivers123]

Has it accrued to anyone that the reason they are calling the second game hint the THIRD game hint is probably because it is another hint about three of something? Third hint=3 important
Makes sense to me.

Perhaps the Pi can refer to Raspberry Pi. I have seen a few people talking about applications in FIRST on their forums and their company is all about educational applications. It would only make sense to blend the two.

Looks like this hint is getting stale. Time for hint number != 3.

This theory I could get on board with

But unless there's some other hidden reference, it's unlikely that's what they were referencing. IMO of course.

But what would be the game to go with this terrifying name? I shuddered when i saw this...

[|DELTA|]

This is brilliant. This would also be in the realm of what I was thinking. Stacking or moving heavy objects of some sort, possibly different shapes and/or weights.

If this were to be the case, teams would be beta testing it and we would know about it.

But I would be up for it

The raspberry pi is great. We at 2607 have already been testing with it for our 2013 season. The small little board can do some pretty useful stuff. Just because they dont give it to you doesnt mean its not great for a FRC robot

But I agree, all of the morals of the Raspberry Pi foundation and FIRST jive. It wouldnt surprise me. Infact, thier missions are pretty similar (Like the place that makes the Pi's is a foundation, not a Inc. or LLC)

For all those Pi fans out there, Pi is.....
