Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
Quote:
At least other people are speculating about a water based game, a group of us have been having the feeling that this year would be a water based game for two reasons 1. The brand new battery we used last year is waterproof, we may need to use it again this year 2. At the end of last year's kickoff, if you recall, Dave, Woodie, and Dean were all floating on the ringers on water, and they said "I can't imagine what we can be doing next year"..... Thats all i got |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
If that's the case, the Michigan teams should do very well--the orange barrel is our state tree

Could be the two hints we received, or........ could be Spirit and Opportunity. Two almost exclusively autonomous robots. You know the story. |

4 Teams
Especially if, as some have suggested, we are playing a football like game and you combine two teams of two to make a four team super-alliance. Would also make the bracket structure REALLY interesting this year.

Re: Got It!
No, the season is for the two, the game is never for the hints; the hints are for the game. The season is for two of something else. (Teams in an alliance perhaps, i.e. its for the years we used two bots per alliance)

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
Ooooooh, I just thought of another thing, how about FIRST employees or workers in a one team alliance against the other teams typed example:
() ()-team 1 []-team 2 [] F {} {}-team 3 \/- team 4 \/ F -FIRST workers And the FIRST people try to stop the others Like the House Robots on Robot Wars(unbiased control). Sort of a King of the Hill thing. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
It would be very hard to do that with teams in alliances, something FIRST seems to like. They aren't much for mono-e-mono (positive thats NOT how you spell it, oh well) matches.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
I just noticed a sponsor listed in a signature of a poster in CD. It is Nanosolar.
http://www.nanosolar.com/ I remembered a couple of posts in this thread regarding Nanosolar. In the company vision statement, they mention global warming. Global warming has been talked about regarding the hints. I just thought it interesting. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
By the way the last post I did, well, the text is messed up. It was supposed to be in a cross (clockwise) with Team 1 on top teams 2, F, and team 4 on the right, center and left(respectively) and team 3 on bottom. |

Re: Got It!
accually your on to something maybe, because if you look at dave's sig at the very end the that, "My other car is still on Mars" sig and if you click on the Car part it sends you to the NASA page for the 4 year aniversary that Spirit is still functioning on Mars (they said it should of lasted only 90 days, but look at it now)
