Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

I think hurdling should be read in a way meaning: "to over come a difficulty."

I honestly don't think our robots would be jumping.....But you never know.

So... What ever Vet is.. overcomes/solves the (issue of the) FIRST tetra?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Wow i have nooooo clue what this could possibly mean, unless it has something to do with that game with tetras from the past (i don't remember the name). The all caps FIRST implies that it is talking about something with in the organization and just the first and it the beginning. so i may br the return of the tetras that would be soo cool.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Hmm, ok so the first clue was the IR board, the second had triangles/circles/boxes, this one has vet and triangles.

#1: We arnt using triangles at all, but we use circles and boxes, the IR lets you choose which one you want to go for/score in autonomous.

#2: We use all three shapes but either the vet teams have to use the triangle or they cant touch it in autonomous

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

I have a feeling that Vet does not stand for a pet doctor. I think it might stand for Veteran or something similar. So maybe the teams that are veterans (that played in the previous tetra game) will be given another chance to overcome that game(which didn't work out so well for many teams). This doesn't really combine well with the other clues, though. You could take the first clue to be a rectangle(the shape of the board), the second clue to be gps and bearing, point to the Globe Bar and Grill(circle), and this third clue to be about triangles. If you look at the FIRST logo reading from right to left it is square, circle, triangle. Can't wait for kickoff!

Yeah, I don't want to talk about that game.....6 motor drive train, titanium...and the claw didn't work. Grrr.... I really feel that this mention of the tetra would imply that they are coming back in some form or other.

Good call.

Do you have any tylenol handy?

Thanks Mark, I forgot.
