Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
I think that it's definately an Anagram of some kind. A program could be written to come up with every possible letter combination, then cross-referenced with Microsoft Word to check for real words, but this would be impractical as the competition is so close.
Another question, if it is an anagram, is if "FIRST" is mereley "FIRST", or if it is expanded to "For Inspiration and Recognition of Standards Technology", which would add a new level of insanity to the anagram. If it is an anagram, then it's far more practical just to wait for the kick-off. Last edited by Xavier Brandall : 03-01-2008 at 22:09. Reason: Grammar |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
you mean "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology" lol....about the fishing stuff and all the races...i really can't see the GDC do something like that....i'm thinking of a more rack 'n roll style game again, maybe with goal posts around the field, different objects rather than tubes, and the ir tells you where to score in autonomous mode or something..

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
FIRST has never supplied us with cardboard boxes. An email was sent out listing what will be in the KOP and the following items are in the KOP.
2 cardboard boxes 36" x 4" x 9" 12" x 16" |

Arefin, those boxes are outer wrapping like the totes. The long one would be Kitbot. I'm not sure about the other.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
I find it rather interesting that the picture of the IR sensor in the 2008 Decryption Test PDF is just the same image that JoeRoss posted for Game Hint#1......

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
OK.
Wikipedia says: Hurdling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdling combined with the statue at boston of the toroise, i put my 2 cents on a race of some sort. Vet for pet doctor also comes to the rabbit and tortoise... Tetra is the number 4. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
So there were tubes at the ending of last year's kickoff (with Dean, Dave and Woodie sitting and talking about the 2008 game.
And there were triangles and squares seen everywhere in the Boston Square And there are tetras in Game Hint #3. I think the gamepieces are going to be a mix of all of those this year. And the challenge will be figuring out which ones to go for, and for the finals, figuring out how to create a strong alliance, maybe with one robot that can get each type of gamepiece. That would definitely lead to having a bigger variety of robot designs on the field this year, which would be cool |

heres a guess
since there is three different hints i guess there is going to be 3 different games that your robot has to be good at ![]() even better the robot solves game hints Last edited by 11Mort11 : 03-01-2008 at 17:06. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
I'll try a word-by-word. Something might make sense.
Vet: 2 definitions. 1. Short for veteran. 2. Short for veterinarian. hurdling: In track, the hurdles events involve a full-speed sprint, clearing obstacles known as hurdles. FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology tetra: prefix for four. Also: FIRST slang for tetrahedron. See the 2005 game for uses of tetras. So--I foresee a game that we've seen before in some form. There will be obstacles. Tetras will return somehow (the order of "FIRST tetra" suggests this). I'm basing the return on the first definition of "vet". My mom thinks that the second definition of "vet" is more important, implying four-wheeled robots in conjunction with "tetra". Oh, and Richard: There is one item that is a mix of all three. It's a traffic cone. The Copely Square hint seemed to indicate that as well. I hope against hope that those aren't the game pieces. More likely to be obstacles, but still... BTW Dave, you successfully ruined the rest of my Christmas break. Congratulations. Last edited by EricH : 02-01-2008 at 17:15. |

Alright everybody... i think team 384 might have a slight breakthrough in the game hints!!
if you go to this link you will notice that, using the coordinate idea, i have found this http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=e...5&iwloc=B&om=1 if you look at business "B" it is called "FIRST Corps of Cadets Veterans" and is approximately 342 degrees in the direction of Copley Square!!! if anyone can shed some light on my findings it would be appreciated by everyone. Good Luck everybody from team 384!! --this guess was found by Brad Wilson of team 384-- |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3
... Wow. That seems like too much to be a coincidence.
=/ The only question is how does that place tie in... I can't find much about it. |
