Am I the only one terrified of the possibility of a 4-team alliance?

Am I the only one here to not have seen this picture? Does anyone have a link to it they would like to post?

I like the idea of something other than balls to manipulate, so it'e either cubes or tetras (FIRST symbol branding)

Bot's holding each other up or carrying at the end....

The objects will no doubt have images of Seal and Heidi Klum,

Cubes and Tetras are out of style, it's obvious to me that these will be the game pieces

Don't be silly. Tetrahexaflexagons are clearly the game piece for 2013!

Has anyone thought about the game hint referring to:
Axl Rose, KISS
Rick Astly

There was “A Dinner” in the Cold November Rain music video by Guns N’ Roses and Rick Astley sang the song Hold Me in Your Arms.
I don’t know enough about KISS to know how “Missed” relates.

We might have to use an FLL minibot to pick up a record and place it on a turntable; to go with the music theme.

No, you're not the only one. I took the hint as, "Don't worry guys, Alliances will still have three teams on them. Now figure out the rest of the game."

Not at all. I think the discussion is one of those “never suppose...simply prepare for everything” issues -- better to consider as many such possible ramifications ahead of time. If nothing else, it's been an intriguing annual thought experiment (at least in my minimal mind).

So here's the big question:

Did Kerry Wentworth attend the FRC Holiday Celebration?

That'd make the hint make a lot more sense.

A ROSE KISSED -- Seal
SINGER GREAT -- Seal Great / Great Seal
A DINNER MISSED -- Kerry?
HOLDING WEIGHT -- Carry

Carrying the great seal, or carrying a pyramid. This would explain all of the miscellaneous threes, as well--harking back to Triple Play.

I don't expect you to know this, but as someone who lives in New Hampshire, the SEE Science Center is located in the same building as FIRST Headquarters. So, it makes much more sense that the picture was taken at FIRST Headquarters, and it doesn't tell us anything. I like the creativity though.
