This isn't the first time Frank has mentioned items he's seen on here. My favorite is http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr.../blog-09-28-12 - Brain in a Vat!

You can trust that FIRST will always lurk in whatever online forums teams are using, although they'll never post. They'll leave communicating with teams to the approved official channels (rules, GDC Q&A, Blog, e-mail blasts, etc).

They are not ready to release the game hint until the "end of the world"?
Combine this with the "Never gonna give you up" hint...

That's whats standing out for me.

This was awesome

But I think the fact that coincidence is specifically mentioned may actually be a hint. Perhaps luck (a synonym of coincidence) will play a bigger factor in this game (multiple scoring locations with random point values that we don't know until we score on them

All this talk about "The End", i have a strong feeling that maybe this hint coming in a few days will tell us about the endgame

[Greg Young]

Of course, it could be a veiled reference to a coincidence detector. In order to score two robots have to do something at the same time. With coopertition points if the robots are on opposite alliances.

Or maybe not.

Sounds good to me.

Gah. Thanks FIRST for making my next three days horrible with anticipation.

Also, Im SURE they wont post it at 12 am beginning of the 21st like I would like, that would not fit with the Trolling pattern.

I support this idea 100%, that and the look of confusion on hundreds of students faces at a regional would be priceless.

If only this were the case. If I never hear Chantilly Lace or the Cha Cha Slide again, it'll be too soon.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of Mayan stadium sports, minus the whole sacrificing part.

coincidentally, I had mine taken out this morning instead of the day before kickoff, and I can still feel it, but I can think pretty straight right now. and getting it done now is much better than getting during build season. I hope it goes well for you!

That's funny, I just got mine taken out last friday.

I think the cumulative mind-blowing that will happen due to this game hint on the 21st will end the world.

Definitely water game.

Well, according to the film 2012 the world should start flooding on 12/21 making a water game inevitable.
