2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

[ThatIndianKid89]

First Post...here goes:

We've now all read about the possibility of water, ice, and fire on the field in various different rumors.

So. Remember that 5?

The elements? Think back to pokemon-- earth, air, water, fire, electricity/ice/..magic...?

maybe it has something to do with the Five elements?
or maybe the Five senses?

Orrrr I could be over thinking it...but hey...FIRST does that to you...

I don't think we're on the right track. Think about it. I don't know if you've ever been to a FIRST competition before, but it takes a nice while to set up and tear down. We are responsible for leaving the venue relatively clean after our regional/championship. Now think of what ice/water/earth/fire( ) would do to that...as interesting as that would be, I don't think it will ever happen.

I personally think it's a conspiracy. Last year, one of the game hints had "tangling with pasta" in the middle of it. *PASTA*! This 5 is probably just there to make us wonder what the 5 in the middle of the game hint is for. Dave is probably sitting back cracking up about all the "whacked-out" theories we've got.

Not to mention programming auton to deal with dirt or ice on the field would be...interesting.

But keep thinking. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, I'm not sure about the water. Water and robots don't really mix.

Wow thats the first time i have seen a connection of a game hint to Pokemon... Impressive

I think when we get to pokemon we know that this game hint isn't going anywhere.
