Man, now I can get excited about this!
*Mentor yelling at the students* EAT EAT COMMON WHATAYOU DOING EEAAATTT!!!!!!
*Students jaw muscles going numb* I can't, I need milk.... *thinks 5 matches left*
Can you see the finals? You've gotta take that 5 minute timeout to go puke...
Finally a way to glorify the teenagers ability to devour food!
This is a great game idea!

Encouraging more teenagers to become bulemic. That's what FIRST is all about.

Heyy sorry to dissappoint everybody, but i believe all this talk was for nothing. I am also in the same class as "aaron" who supplied this hint. Our teacher like always, was playing a joke on the class. Aaron took this literally and poof, chiefdelphi madness. Like i said sorry to dissappoint everyone, but this hint was just a class joke.

Enough with the "the center is out" problem.... anyone have any ideas on how they would carry a cup of coffee for the whole match?

Hi everyone, apparently this was a ruse given to us by our teacher to get us excited about the competition this year coming up. Unfortunately this hype has been for nothing. Its a ficticious hint, sorry.

Somehow i kind of thought it was. Although it was a good thing to get everyone thinking. <<< It gives our brain a work out for the building season. It was really fun to watch all the idea's that everyone got (some people have some pretty interesting thinking caps on their heads).

1. Have the human player drink the coffee (bleargh ), then have the robot carry the empty mug around the rest of the match.

2. Have the robot attach a lid to the cup, making it unspillable.

interesting thoughts, though.

So, don't worry about it. Stuff like this has gone on for years.

y'know, if for some sick reason the game this year DOES involve carrying a cup of coffee, I'll have to change my name and ask for federal protection since everyone would assume I revealed privileged information (that I found in a stray pdf file). Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint.

Sorry to stir the pot BUT, did you ever notice that whenever a leak occurs, shortly after there is a denial. The next thing you know , the game is revealed and voila the leak was correct. This one seems too FIRST like to not be considered. I have a funny feeling about it. I guess we'll see in a few more days.

[nkrumm]

even though the hint is supposedly bogus, what about this:

- 4 is not enough -> 5 robots, all on one side (i.e. 4 v 0)
- the center has an area for 1 or 2 robots, who will be disabled there.
- the game progresses in "tag-team" format, where one team can tag in the center robot(s) and replace them on the actual field.

Eh?
