In FIRST's efforts to make FTC mentoring quasi-mandatory, they will make us play with 16lb bowling balls. you have to bowl the balls on a lane, using the high speed sensors. you have to use minibots to reset the pins

i was saying more in volume, but i can imagine the carnage of 16 lb bowling balls being thrown across the field and at mini-bots

I'd like to throw a bowling ball at minibots...

I would so love another game hint!

It feels kind of like a happy puppy waiting for someone to throw that tennis ball. Waiting.. waiting.. waiting... I really hope I don't start drooling, jumping, and barking - that would be embarrassing even for me.

Maybe the next hint will be a lightly-encrypted fake game manual.

Guys, the second game hint was a donated parts list from Banebots. Sadly it, like the gearboxes, has a 2-5 week lead time.

Wait, really? I never saw that. FIRST wouldn't release game hints early like that. If they really did release a list, then I doubt it would have been a hint.

That would be great! It would be awesome to read the second hint in mid-January!

Has anyone seen this logo before? I haven't. Maybe I've missed the "smiley" motif as an official FIRST design. If not, could this be something related to this year's game?

Never seen it before. In fact, I've been on that tshirt page a few times and never have seen those shirts before. Maybe they are something. Maybe they're not. Who knows (aside from the GDC)?

The next hint will be game hint #3. Everyone will go crazy trying to figure out which of the fake hints was hint #2. http://www.snopes.com/college/pranks/livestock.asp

I could see this happening to us. Gosh, I better get out of Chief Delphi before it's too late.

Maybe through the elongated period between the first hint and the second hint they're trying to show us that they still haven't fixed the all of the long field connection issues?

Looks like it was something from 2004. Quotes are from that year as well.
