Clues about 2010 posted yet?

[waialua359]

Once in a while I get forwarded NASA emails by one of our liasons in Hawaii.
During the beginning of build season, I was looking for a FIRST-related email and typed in "Regolith."
As I was scrolling through it, I saw something dated August 2008!!
It was a discussion of how NASA was using Regolith for one of their projects.

I should have paid more attention.........and now I certainly will.

I got word from a super secret higher up that the 2043 game will be a repeat of Lunacy, only they will implement a floor that doesn't simulate 1/6th gravity, but it actually has 1/6th of earth's gravity.

He also said the 2591 game was going to have alliances of 12 robots.

It will be a good day when a 'super secret higher up' that is quoted is a she. Then FIRST will have accomplished one of its goals, me-thinks. (Even in a joke.)

Better yet when we get away from using gender specific pronouns.

The real power in FRC is already held by a female - Dean Woodie and Paul are just pretty faces. However, she would never be listed as a "super secret source", as she wouldn't break NDA.

No, go back to bed. Enjoy your summer! Don't worry about it until either the end of December when you and your team reorganize for the build season.

I hope you reorganize before the end of December

No really though, good point, don't worry about next years game, worry about how you are going to improve your team and your community.

Several members of the GDC are CD members. Occasionally, they drop clues (or not...or maybe...or not...or yes...or maybe...or not...you get the picture). Aidan is one of said GDC members. As such, anything he says may be a) counted as a hint, b) misinterpreted, twisted, taken out of context, etc., c) be assumed to be a hint, or d) assumed to be a hint for a game that isn't yet planned, and is later than the next year. There are others who have the same sort of stigma.

In this case, Aidan posted "mumbling" in a thread about the 2010 game hint. This promptly started joking speculation about when the hint was for (see d) above). This happens every time something of this sort happens; don't worry, it's normal.

Oh, I get it. I figured it was something like that, I just didn't have the specifics. Thanks for that bit of history.

I'm just sittin back, relaxing, and enjoying the offseason

I also think there will be minimum need of a human player.
Maybe a new hybrid combo.

I know they're generally not posted for awhile, but how and where to clues come out? Does Dave Laverley (did I spell that right?) post them here, or does FIRST send out official links to their site to all teams where clues can be seen?
