Hence how the oldest game voted for is from '06...
I dont think so because all the games are on youtube. I personally voted for FIRST Frenzy, Triple Play, and Ramp & Roll and I am not ever a part of FRC except the occasional volunteer and a mentor for FTC


I also think that the GDC is thinking about either adding a 3rd alliance or a 4th team to the current alliances

Honestly, Dave's comment was not a game hint. Give the guy a break!

Overthinking? Who's overthinking?

Just because I can't sleep, daydream LabView, and contemplate the ramifications of bumper rules and coopertition bonuses on the populace at large doesn't mean I'm overthinking! Does it? DOES IT?

Oh, God, I don't even know what I am anymore...

Why wait? If its worth doing tomorrow, its worth doing now! Procrastinate tomorrow, not today! Besides, the official hints are just more gist for us to grind.

As soon as the official hints come out, you will be tearing your mind and soul to little tiny pieces from both a) wondering what the hint means and b) wanting to use your 2010 bot to kick people who post on the 10th page of the hint thread saying "THE OPAH IS A MOON FISH OMG MOON"*





*I swear, I'm not attempting to offend anyone if they were one of those people. I did stop trying to read the thread at that point, though.

This will likely fall on deaf eyes but - something else that occurs is a level of frustration. It can produce insults, rudeness, and sometimes, a less than polite post both from the person who is frustrated and quarrelsome and from the member who is attempting to re-establish some order. Now is a good time to remember that the hints are a fun aspect of enjoying the anticipation of the game challenge reveal and they should be handled in ways that reflect thinking and humor as they introduce chaos.

Veterans, it is almost time to don those flame resistant knickers. Don't allow them to get in a twist.

This is going to be so.much.fun.

Lol that's great Robert.


I like seeing the various guesses and people defending their points. The analzying of the words in the posts and the research into different things kind of set the mood for the season. It could give the rookies a taste of the spirit of FIRST and how we all become addicted to FIRST and love hint season I mean the Christmas season.
