Shell game anyone?

Or maybe they're bringing back the pressure plates, in which case students will need healthy feet to run quickly to a loading zone then back to the pressure plate...

Sheesh... I guess I was wrong.
I always thought the turtle rhymed with hurdle... hence the game clue for 2008

Maybe the game pieces will be turtles next year.

or, maybe it will be Overdrive next year except with items(like in MarioKart)

Anybody notice how this image and thread is about scorning obscure game hints? Now look what it has become! Just further proof that Mr. Lavery can strike anywhere, and at anytime.

On another note, I think that a Mario bros. game would be pretty cool. Gotta start coming up with ideas for shell-collecting devices. Also, does this mean we'll have to make robots that jump?

In my opinion, one of the best quotes in CD history is

"Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint." - Gary Dillard

The reason is because it's so true.

But seriously, what's more fun than analyzing a game hint?

I've got nothing against game hints. Personally, I think the way their devilish difficulties and absolute ambiguity causes some of the brightest minds around to come together and think outside the box is awesome. It's also fun to look back at such hints, and see just how close, or far away, we all really were. Plus, who doesn't enjoy stimulating their brain with a little creativity and (extremely) lateral thinking?

P.S.- Also, what else would we do between the end of championship and the beginning of January? (I mean, besides going to off-season competitions, fundraising, recruiting new members, doing fun build projects, and getting caught up with your (non-robotics) life.)

Dave Lavery, I swear that you will drive us all insane some day with those EVIL little dots...

And you've all got it wrong; we won't be using trained dolphins, or trained clownfish...we'll be using trained Narwhals


(Yeah, I really don't know where the narwhals thing came from. I guess I've gone a little crazy after sitting in front of 3 computer screens for 3 hours trying to make next year's website work )

What is this "non-robotics life" of which you speak?

That's okay. I personally think narwhals are freakin' awesome . But it might be hard to avoid damage of field elements, with those horns. I don't think that the field crews will want to have to replace all the game pieces between every match... unless Dave somehow factored this into his ingenious plan...

Yeah... I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder myself...

We can have them puncture balloons, or something. The field crews get to blow them up, then watch the bots/narwhals destroy their hard work (ooo...new field crew member initiation? [:< Mwahaha...)

The question should be "why WOULDN'T we be speculating about a water game agan?"

How curious that I happen to be sitting here listening to "Isn't it ironic" by Alanis Morissette right now...

A-choo.
