Or maybe that's what the "Separate Item" in the Black Tote is...

they say this: Separate Item-4" x 1" x 1"

I think that is too small for bumper fabric, unless it is a small sample

Another update from my boss while I work

Here is the website:

If you replace the number pairs with letters, it allows you to treat this like a straight substitution cipher:

H GICA, LBCCAE CBFDAG DGAHD H EBFFAG, KBCCAE JIMEBFD NABDJD

But, the best solution to this still doesn't make much sense:

A RULE, KILLED LIFTER TREAT A DIFFER, WILLED HUNDIFT BEITHT

I have a feeling that there were two hints released today. The "official" hint, and the KOP information. The official hint is also probably a decoy to take suspicion off of the KOP info...

Anyone got a clue how long that remote is in the andymark list...

Did anyone notice that the KOP Site says the checklists for the KOP will come out 1/2/13 instead of 1/5/13 when kickoff is... Just something to think about.

Except that the list is only showing the variations between rookie and vetran teams. Both kits could have yellow bumper material.

Some of them look like phone numbers... LETS START CALLING THEM ALL!

Haha I'm trying to read all of this on my phone and well, I did dial one by accident. I got Louisiana.

Hint hint guys, try looking up the 17 FRC staff members listed (google searches, linkedin). There's some interesting stuff there...

I should preface this by saying that this may be a total red herring.

The line "A ROSE KISSED" may have something to do with one of the FRC staff that Frank posted in the list, Rose Kue (LinkedIN).

This may explain all the musical-related hits we've been getting...

EDIT: She's a music major.

I believe I called that, sir.

My guess is we'll need to light up towers by placing weight on them, the towers will have weight sensors on them and LEDs along the bottom (like the LEDs the bridges in 2012). The higher the weight on the sensors, the brighter the LEDs get. You get points in accordance to the brightness of your tower. There will be different levels, each causing the brightness to change more than those beneath it.

If I'm rong and that's not the game, DIBS on designing it!!!

This may refer to the game in some fashion because FIRST has been known to relate games to NASA missions and other accomplishments.

So thinking a bit more on this, what I am gaining from this theory, we may have a "safe zone" out in the middle of the field, or possibly there may be elements off the field that play a much larger role than in previous years. Still not sure though.

If you google each of those numbers individually, most of them don't turn up anything... but 88274153 has quite a few hits!

It is alarming that each image is related to water.
