Why do the water game ideas always come back!?!!?

still, it think an underwater FRC would be awesome, and i did see a video on youtube with somethink like that, underwater robot competition (was it FIRST?...nah)

You will think I'm CRAZY...

Our design team captain e-mailed me to tell me about this dream where he's reading the game manual for this year (lol)...

it IS a water game (in a way). Teams connect pipes and blocks (with enhanced capabilities or score multipliers activated by IR or something like that) to make the longest possible path to a bucket. Human player controls water flow from a spigot. Score is like length of pipe * percentage of bucket filled * any score multipliers).

I laughed at him... but it is a water game that would not involve a lot of manipulation of the standard chassis to work.

Sounds like a game we would see on Double Dare back in the day, or maybe in an Escher drawing.

Very cool concept though for sure.

2008 Games Hint #3 is not the first time "TETRA" has shown up this year. Take a look at the kite picture in Post #21 added by non-other than dlavery.
TETRA is not always a four sided object. Sometimes its' a fish.

My instructor is suggesting that a triangle is going to be the shape this year. I mean, look at clue #2. It's set in Boston around Copley Square. (I believe that's what it's called) There is more than one building or item that is pointed/triangular at the top. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...1&d=1199280109

This is my first guess on the 2008 game, becasue i decided not to ridicule my mind with this whole guessing game, so, i think that you will have to score something! Pretty crazy, that is what i have after reading all 1000+ posts about the hints... Spending my time wisely? I think so!
