2006 game hints?

[dlavery]

I once started to build a time machine. But then I went back in time and told myself that it wouldn't work, so I gave up on it.

This is certainly a hint! This years kit will come with a time machine!

And to prove it I will send myself back in time at kick-off to a few minutes from now to say "Hi" to myself.

Still waiting...

A hint!!!

"..went back in time" - I think that this is pretty self explanitory here (something to do with previous years)...but I'm not 100% sure...

also, i think that Tom is on the right track... :-\

Either that, or Dave really tried making a time machine

p.s. I'm not too good at putting clues together...I tried lol

How would you figure out it didn't work by going BACK in time? Don't you have to go FORWARD to when you've perfected it (or failed) to figure out whether it will work?

Or are you trying to convince us that you're really a pessimist at heart? Sorry, Dave, I won't believe it!!

Wait-- Now I've figured out the real reason you posted this! You're trying to discourage the rest of us from building a time machine so that we can't learn, in advance, what next year's game will be!!

By the way, my dad built a time machine in our garage when I was a kid. He used cardboard, not metal.

I remember the "Snow Hint". I support the idea that it refers to "snow" as in noise, static, chaos, etc. I think FIRST has been in a tough situation as far as autonomous goes. It's depressing to see robots sit around for 15 seconds... yet they want to reward teams who are good at autonomus. The compromise could be the ability to voluntarily switch in autonomus and complete tasks in that mode for extra points. Or forgo autonomus entirely. This allows point allocation to reflect the "bonus" nature of auto-mode.

Oh, and I suggested it a while back, so they darn well better do it :-)

maybe by this state ment he means that past sensors and game elements that didn't work as well as they thought will be reappearing. such as the IR and the CMU cam.
