They usually come out right before Christmas.
Be patient, and go do something else with your life while you still have time!

Re: Game hint....when?

You mean you aren't already insanely busy Libby? So far this fall, we've rebuilt our BreakAway robot, designed and built a test setup for motor controllers (ran out of time to perform our tests though... that might happen in week 1), built 2 robots from a expanded VEX kit we won at an offseason event a year ago (we wanted to get some experience with different arm designs), went to 2 offseason competitions, did beta testing (which involved a complete re-write of last year's code), mentored some Lego League teams, and just gave 3 presentations (2 sessions each for two of them, 3 sessions for one of them) last weekend! And all of that is just from the build team. The PR team has been meeting separately (and more often!)... but that's at the school while I'm at work, so I don't have much visibility into all the work they do.

I, for one, am ready for the game hint!

Can we get a Christmas gift from the GDC?

How about a Christmas gift FOR the GDC? They worked so hard to give us the water game we've been waiting for, we should get them something to show our thanks.

Re: Game hint....when?

So it's going to be hovercraft manipulating banana shaped jello pieces with regolith underneath. And the endgame will be trying to pick up chocolate pudding. Sounds good, guys!!

Let's get them a swimming pool...and put it right in the middle of the game lab. Right where they keep the prototype field.

It's always awkward to give people a gift that they already own.

Re: Game hint....when?

Next blog post could be any day now...please let it contain a hint....

On a totally unrelated note, I never noticed the birthday cake by someone's name on their birthday. Cool little thing...

Re: Game hint....when?

I think we got one with first choice. Why would Andymark put an ir transmitter if it wasn't going to be needed. I would guess that there will be a hybrid mode where we can control our robots with a remote.

Sure seems like a gigantic step backwards from the Kinect, which hasn't even been tapped to its full potential yet. I'm not putting money on this theory (but there's already a 300+ post thread about this...)
