In regard to the "Doctor Who is not a hint" stuff: The subject of Doctor Who is not a hint, but the GIF(and/or its title) could be.

Perhaps 333 only refers to the 3 sets of numbers or the 3 associated sports, but it could also be a teaser or something else.


Anyway, this is something that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread yet.
Excellent post.

It wasn't mentioned in this thread, but in the original game hint thread there was a discussion of a game that could be 3 teams versus 3 versus 3, rather than the 3 v 3 we have become accustomed to.

Some consider it problematic to be cycling 9 robots per match, especially in a district competition with 40 teams. Maybe they will make the matches longer, or increase the time between matches. Logistics hell, IMHO.

We had hints about 3's for 2005's Triple Play, where we transitioned from the 2 v 2 to 3 v 3. Also the "tetras" as a game piece. This also contained the first vision acquisition autonomous period, that was less than successful. It was also the last year without bumpers. There were some awesome collisions during the endgame frenzy of taking goals and running to the end zone.

Hence my thoughts: I like baseball (three bases), and hockey (three periods and three zones).

Baseball: Wiffle balls. Easy to collect and throw and purchase. No harm to spectators. Three bases on the field for an endgame battle of which alliance can control the bases.

Hockey: A goal at either end that can be defended by a goalie bot. You choose to defend the goal or pull the goalie to grab a base in the endgame that would allow the opposing alliance to easily score. Three periods, like in Aim High.

For some reason, I am still expecting the weight reduction for the robots on the field, but an increase in the withholding allowance to encourage modularity and strategic decision making based upon alliance composition.
Noodle-bot!

This is a reach, but a pic of the game field that includes two alliance goals and three "bases".
