Found the password for the manuals

[Gary Dillard]

Got you to look, didn't I? I can't believe it's been almost 24 hours since the manuals were posted encrypted, and noone has yet claimed to have accessed them and posted some allegedly real but bogus pages from the game rules. I always look forward to that in this forum during the waining hours before kickoff every year. Who's going to step up to the plate? How about a fake kick-off video or something?

Sounds like somebody has a low opinion of the ethics of CD forumers.

I believe the password will be the name of the game, whatever that is.

I think it actually will be a combination of numbers and letters. Probably, if they did this last year, 71StackAttack2003, or something like that, to lower the possability of someone hacking it.

AH HA! I CRACKED THE CODE!

here is page one:

anybody know what language that is? I think I downloaded the swedish version by mistake.

[DaSpyder]

I opened it in Wordpad, and boy was that a mistake on my part. So many characters with so little time to crack the code, something i never had the slightest chance at ever doing.

looks like a language so evil that I dare not speak its name. I detest anyone who uses it and wish to inflict a slow and painful death upon them. It is an inhumane language, and an evil one that incurs violence at its very mention...Fine, I'll say it: Klingon...yuck!!!

[KenWittlief]

yes! the manual is written in Klingon!

NOW were getting somewhere!

(and my wife laughed at me last night when I bought that yellow 'Encryption for Dummies' book at Barnes and Nobles)

I think that is the language of Lavery-ish...

[KenWittlief]

ok I found a Klingon to english translation website

some of it came out gibberish

but the last three lines are:

"one bot to rule them all, one bot to find them
one bot to bring them here, and in the darkness bind them
in the killzone, where the shadows lie"

[danielkitchener]

Does that mean this year's challenge will be to throw the other team's robot into Mount Doom before the RingWraiths (Dean Kamen, Dave Lavery, et. al.) catch you???? I knew it!!!

... and no hackers? No one can break that code? Interesting. I'm not one to pass judgement, seeing as I'm no hacker and I've not even downloaded the files yet, but I can't believe that nobody has the CPU skills to hack that code. I hear of people cracking into government systems and changing the temperature in the White House, but nobody in this whole Robotics compitition could break that code. Hmm... Guess we'll just wait 'till tomorrow.

Smart kids, hackers... whatever. We do have lives and can't spend them in front of the computer all day trying to crack something thats only gonna give us a few x-tra hours of time on the competition. It just wouldn't be worth it... and I have homework to do, oh yea... and that slave labor I do in a sweat shop for pay ... lol

I heard through a friend that his friend cracked the code in about two hours.

Wait? some ppl actually have lives?. I just have FIRST and computers, And build season is only 6 weeks.

That leaves alot of time for computer ;-)
