Re: facebook clue?

I'm simply amazed at how people have time to follow FIRST around, looking for game hints. I've lost track of all of the places to look: Facebook, Bill's Blog, the FIRST website - where else? This borders on nuts.

Not while playing the game, you're right. But if, I'm running down the hallway with a ball, it'd probably be tucked under my arm.

In anycase, it's not even a game hint, it's a kick off hint. If anything, I can imagine an elf running down the hall with a kinect or two under their arm, possibly taking it to film a demo shown at Kick-off.

"Okay... we felt your pain. We heard your pleas. We worked through the NIGHT to extract ANY kind of hints from FRC staff." Kind of makes it seems like a game hint, I haven't seen any pleas for a kickoff clue.

None of this takes very long. Or you could be like me and live under a rock in a cave and refuse to care about game hints. I suggest it, helps to keep me comparatively sane.

Re: facebook clue?

With all of these options to get information from FRCHQ, clearly the hint isn't the picture itself, but where the picture was posted. 2012, year of the wall.

Clearly and clearly, the go-to place is Chief Delphi. It connects all the dots.

Re: facebook clue?

With all of our combined abilities to build robots, I don't know why we don't just build a robot that crawls, flies, or otherwise infiltrates the FIRST HQ building so we can get our own hints without the ambiguous nuance that comes with a so-called 'Elf Bot'.

People also tuck books under their arms.

Quoted for truth. And Andrew, they're not too bad. Reading the ideas that the hints lead to can make for some great entertainment.

What have I learned from andymark releasing new products befor kick off in the past? They have nothing to do with the new game. If andymark has any game specific parts they won't be released until kick off. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Very true. The entertainment value is huge! Oh, and Jane, I don't know about you, but I enjoy crossing the border from time to time.
