is this another game hint?

[Jacob Bendicksen]

Not to break anyone's heart, but 3 is a great number for varying skill levels amongst teams. It just makes more sense than 2, and 4 is getting too complicated.

Maybe it means THREE FEET OF WATER

It could indicate that we'll have climbing (probably a different object) again for the same point values, which would be rather interesting.

definitely a game hint
Such a game hint
So many hints
Definitively a hint

One climbing game was enough for me

Well you see, I didn't even know what FIRST was in those years.

Half Life 3 confirmed? Wait, that's not what we do here....

I don't know if there's anything to be read into it, except that "There will be no change to the value of CLIMBING at the FIRST Championship, as mentioned in Section 3.1.5.2."

Although it does seem like there will be some climbing aspect...

Or maybe the three states of water that will be on the field.

Sorry to be that guy, but once again my answer to things like this is....

No.

I really am willing to bet it's just a glitch in the system, or a mistake as they edited the previous years manual.

I disagree, in many years previous, there has been something to do with the number 3, it is likely there will be something on the field having to do with the number 3

[Domenic Rodriguez]

It's funny to see this whole thing with the number 3 again this year. I'm sure others remember last year's red herring and game hint and their focus on the number 3. I wouldn't read too much into errors like this.

Also, this video from Team 1902 is feeling more relevant than ever these days, particularly the ending: http://youtu.be/uQ_mdx8_6A4.

I think it could be an actual hint. There's been a lot of this kind of stuff on the FIRST website. I'd believe a certain number of typos, but this is really a lot. Especially if they haven't been fixed (have they?).

Of course, just because something is a hint doesn't mean it tells us anything.

The last time the number 3 was significant in a game hint, we had Triple Play. After that year, a proposal was made on Chief Delphi for a game called Triple Replay, due to Dean's homework not getting done.

Got bad news for ya veterans, you're gonna have to really support the rookies this year.
