That got me thinking.

October is the 10th month.
14 + 10 = 24
24 is the amount of hours in a day.
There are 365 days in a year.
365/5=73
73 is a prime number.
103 is the 27th prime.
27 is the age Dean Kamen was when he was 27.
Coincidence? I think not.

But wait, there's more.
27 is the atomic number of cobalt, which is blue.
Water is also blue.
Water is found in the ocean.
Dolphins are found in the ocean.
Dolphins have a life span of 40 years
Could this mean the next FRC game contains green bouncy balls?

But in all seriousness, it would be cool to see a new element that isn't related to balls etc. (baton anyone?).

I heard there was a really good rumor about there being no real rumors yet.

[Hitchhiker 42]

In all seriousness, if they continue with theming, a cool theme would be futuristic. Lunacy repeat, anyone?!

FIRST, please make it happen! Since the FTC/FLL(Jr.) students won't see FRC at the same location, nearby teams that aren't going to CMP could demo their robots.

I realize there is a slight error in the chart, sorry

I knew it! Vex games ARE FRC hints! As I said earlier, inflatable cubes and spiky things anyone?

That makes as much sense as spam bots' randomly generated post titles...

ROCKET GAME!

[adciv]

This years game will basically be Air Hokey using three pucks 1 meter in diameter and 30cm high played on a field of Glasliner FRP. All teams will have to use special mandated wheels as their only contact with the field surface.

North Star is Week 6 and 10k lakes must be a different date. WOW!

Now that I think about it, bouncy balls would be cool. Wait...there was a "Bride of the 2017 Update" blog post...Vex has a space game...there's a pinball machine called Pin-Bot...and a sequel, The Machine: Bride of Pin-Bot...It's a pinball game!

I wasn't implying that he's a robot, just that the posted train of thought wasn't logical. I was mostly joking.

Next year, FIRST will announce a change that some people might or might not take issue with.

Hah, I'd like to see any of you try to disprove this.

I can. Disprove the following, though.

Next year, FIRST will announce a change that everybody might or might not take issue with.



I also heard a rumor that people asking for rumors get more than they bargained for. Also known as "be careful what you wish for"...
