THE 2005 HINT!!!!!!!!!

[David Kelly]

I think its got something to do with Spongebob. He's disappearing from all around the country. Must be the only way FIRST can get ahold of those SquarePants!!!

Man...even if it is bogus, my thoughts must be heard:

-I really like the idea of starting in the center of the field - if not this year, NEXT YEAR!!

-Scoring on the outsides of the field would be awesome (anyone remember 2001 CDI with the Orange Juice jugs??).


-I don't think it would be that difficult to have three teams per side with the configuration that the fields currently have - they are set up for 4 per side anyway.


-"The center is out" means the return of torroids to me...that or the balls this year are going to be turned inside out

...or perhaps he's just doing it to respond to your earlier post. That was way too detailed for a real Lavery hint.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Actually.. in our town, the Spongebob was donated to the local Park and Rec. Department by BK for use at kid oriented events.

At the local mall, they have a fake skating rink that is made from the HDPE stuff that was on top of the platform in 2003.

All the slipperyness of ice, without the dreaded water.

o neato a tag team idea. but what if a robot becomes immobilized some how and can't tag?

Can I have my Xmas present already, DAVE?

I am very close to pull my hairs out.

[Sugar_Bunny]

Maybe the scoring has to do with some sort of ring...Just a thought

HULA HOOPS?
The robots have to spin more than 4 hula hoops?

I'll agree with some of the people on this thread that all of you are crazy obsessing over the 'hint' when we can just wait a little more than a week and find out what the real comp. is.undefined

And Reason #0 - Releasing them as "clues" is a great use for all those left over fortune cookie fortunes acquired while munching down on take-out Chinese food during build season!
