Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

maybe the secret end game is one of the hints, for example where does the glow in the dark tape measure fit in?

No use speculating now, friend. Please do your research; you will find that the idea of a new game element has been DEFINITIVELY put down.

Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game



FRC Lies once again about the endgame they cannot deny. I have clear mathematical proof of the secret end game. Check this:

The year is 2014

(2 x 3) + (0 x 3) + (1 x 3) + (4 x 3) = 21
(2 / 3) + (1 / 3) = 1
Half life 2 named #1 game of the decade
A decade is 10 years long
10 in base 6 is 14
1 - 4 = -3
3 is the number of robots in an alliance.

FRC is in cohorts to make an HL3 themed endgame this year. If we look into the second level of the original Half Life Blue Shift there is a scientist that looks a lot like Dean Kamen. I think that this endgame is the herald of the end of the world.


FRC is part of the endgame, the worlds endgame.

Hold on, I hear a knocking at my door. I will type the rest out when I come back, but I think they are onto me.

Your just one of those sheeple aren't you. Wake up and smell the numbers

Dean Kamen converted to Binary is:
01000100011001010110000101101110001000000100101101 1000010110110101100101011011100000110100001010

If we remove the 0's we get:
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111

That is like a gigilion zeros, so we have to add or subtract some. I don't really get this part but It is clear there is a link. Here is the proof


1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 1
Half life 2 named #1 game of the decade
A decade is 10 years long
10 in base 6 is 14
1-4 is -3
SECRET DEATHMATCH ENDGAME, ONLY THREE ARE LEFT

SEE. IT IS THE SAME PROOF. The feds are onto me, I might not be able to get on to show you the real players in the end times.

Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

Has first ever actually intentionally changed the game in such a drastic way mid season?

No. And Frank (FRC director) directly stated in his most recent blog post (here) that there won't be such a change.

Question Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

I honestly think that its all because of those full-court shooters last year. Maybe this year is an "In your face" challenge, so to say, from FIRST. Also, you have to remember that next year, there is the new RoboRio that is comming out. Maybe this year was a filler year so they can test the new controller out. But personally, a secret end game would totally make the year

Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

I know, I know, Frank said it wouldn't happen. But how do you explain the sudden appearance of this new game piece?

So the reason the pedestals are green is because they represent the pigs and we have to knock them down with the angry birds ball! It all makes sense now!
