So next time you speculate, label it as such and not as established fact. Please. Bad information is worse than no information. |

Let this be a hint to the hardware teams. Deliver that robot early and give the software and driving team time with the robot. IR3 has proven it can be done. |

Just because something has never been done, doesn't mean it's impossible. See: everything ever. |

You do need help. Don't reject offers of assistance from veterans. There are more things you don't know than you think there are. |

What Delphi says doesn't matter. What the official Q&A says matters. |

You know, one year we need to stake out the AndyMark building for several weeks before Kickoff so we can see what the game pieces will be. Hidden webcam? :rolleyes: |

Sleep? What this you talk about. I never can sleep the night before kick-off. |

I can see the 2013 Kickoff broadcast now: "Hello Teams. Welcome back. Gracious Professionalism. Here's some homework. Here's the animation. Here's what the actual field looks like. RTFM. Peace." |

As you get more into your years in FRC, you start becoming friends with more people. You should try it out. Robotics people are pretty nice. |

Not sure if its fair to call this or not yet. Back a group of dedicated teenagers far enough into a corner, and they're gonna find a way out. |

Seems decretive bumpers are the new rage now. I couldn't stand making them once, never mind twice. |

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. |

Iteration is a necessary but not sufficient criteria to being a powerhouse team. |

Iteration is something everyone can do. |

So every 3 years robots have to lift robots? There's yet another pattern to consider. :p |

I've completely figured [the hint] out:
Robots will have to move around, and also displace objects in order to score points.
What do I win? |

Those four stages will most likely be supplanted with the more aptly named phased approach: "Don't Panic", "Consider Panicing" and "Why havent we been panicing?" |

Don't give FIRST ideas...we like our 45 day build season. They can make it shorter. Never underestimate the power of the GDC. |

We can relate anything back to water, and by anything, I literally mean ANYTHING. Surfing around on Chief Delphi has proven that to me. |

And you said it would be an easy game hint... Time to break out the N-Spire and do some number crunching |

I, as a programmer, always strive to have the entire robot operate with as little driver input as possible. Those pesky humans.... |

I used to wonder if the FRC staff would read the CD game hint posts and just laugh to themselves..now I know they do. |

I'm intrigued by the possibility of Mayan stadium sports, minus the whole sacrificing part. |

Ladies and Gentlemen I believe this is the first time a Fantasy FIRST draft has been completed before it's allotted start time! |

Clearly they're releasing the game hint on 12/21/12 because they know the world's going to end, and they want to keep FIRSTers happy and distracted until the very end. |

Jon is very right, going forward I have a hard time envisioning any future Championship Chairman's award winners without a significant social media presence. It's just too big of an avenue to be ignored. |

The only constant in FRC is change. Learning to adapt to change in competition is the best way to prepare for change in real life. |
