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

i don't know if someone already stated this but "vet" could mean Veterans stadium in Philadelphia which is completely circular.

Possibly. The capitalization might make that more likely.

Side note: time to 100 posts: 3 hours and a quarter. Ouch.

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

it would be hard to triangulate with that ir sensor...nearly impossible for FIRST...it would essentially be like finding GPS coordinates on the field with 4 different points...long story short, it's wayyyy too complex for FIRST...way too many interrupys and floating-point math...

i still say another FIRST frenzy....the ir from 04, the tetra from 05, the vet( war veteran, shooting) from 06, and maybe some large square structure that we have to shoot into targets in the middle (the coordinates hint, 07 game)

That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, you couldn't stack very high unless you either held the goal very securely stationary, held the stack securely (like the good stackers in 2003), or you could put a detachable 'cap' on top (like in 97). Maybe zones to push the goals into too? Triple Play + Toroid Terror + Stack Attack + Zone Zeal = pretty neat in my opinion.

Actually, Veterans Stadium no longer exists. It was demolished a couple years ago.

Don't encourage them!

Oh great, a brainstorm. Three hints is probably also a clue. What game had a clue with a lot of 3's referenced? Triple Play. Shortly after the season, someone suggested Triple Replay. I think I know what's coming...

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!
Giving veterans a "second chance" at picking up tetras sounds like a reasonable possibility, but I really hope this is not the case. Tetras were not my favorite gamepiece

I think this might mean that veterans of the 2005 game (Triple Play) might have an advantage?

This is not MTV and the Gauntlet (good show though). FIRST wouldn't give an advantage to veterans unless they won it.

I wouldn't worry about this.
And I wouldn't get stuck on one definition of vet.

Look at the regionals and compare the numbers of new teams and veterans teams.
It varies according to regionals so it would vary in the competitions.

Options could mean something just as they have for several seasons but please don't get hung up on any assumptions that would cause rookie mentors' blood pressure to spike!
