On this note, I just saw this relevant quote up on the spotlight section:

For years, Dave Lavery couldn't fart without people trying to interpret it as a game hint.

So, the game hint is there is no game hint.
Since past years have had game hints, there must be something different this year.

There has never been a water game before!

Re: The Hint in the Blog

Has anyone considered that, if this is a game hint, it simply means that all the examples Frank gives of things that CAN be changed WILL be changed for this year's game? "Number of teams on an alliance, number of alliances in a match, match length, bumper rules, field surfaces, robot size" What if this years game will involve change in all these areas!

Talk about a throwback. (I'm sure you're aware of this, but). That was well before any of this year's students were born, myself included. (Though I'm now no longer a student.)

Ah, Maize Craze. That hearkens back to the days of FTC-sized bots, full tethers, and small, friendly competitions! (At least the friendly part is still widespread XD)
