All the "official game hint" is is an "official red herring" |

According to my father the hint should be released sometime next week, but he's never been the most trustworthy source of info.... |

Okay, who's willing to admit they treat their robot as a pet? |

I'm impressed and incredibly amused that you found so many of Dave's evildoings, though granted, they aren't that hard to search out. |

Just remember to never take the "Us vs Them" mentality and you should come out all right. |

Dean looks rather debonaire in a tux. Like some sort of engineer super hero. The tuxedo is like his Clark Kent costume under which lies his amazing denim suit, to be whipped out at a moments notice in the face of uninspired youth and problems unconquered. |

"Rookie" just means you are new to the game, not that your team isn't as skilled as many already in the competition. |

You are all analyzing the words of a 300 pound fuzzy Pooh Bear with a penchant for squeezing other human beings for fun. Saturday is coming fast. Go see a movie. |

I think this can be cleared up easily...one of the New Hampshire teams needs to go dumpster diving at FIRST HQ and look for an invoice. |

Our team is using a video camera with frame-by-frame analysis to figure out all the characteristics of the foam ball. If the Boeing engineer says it's possible, I'm going to believe him. |

While at kickoff I asked Woodie if there were any concerns about missed shots at the center goal hitting the operators or the controls. He handed me a ball and told me to throw it at him as hard as I could... How many times does an opportunity like that come up? |

My wife got mad at me when I told her I wanted to name our daughter Lotus. "What you mean the software?" she squawked. "No I mean the flower." I said. geeks, I swear.... |

wait a minute...Dave posted a hint here yesterday. but no one has tried to analyze it word by word. has something changed since the kickoff??? |

the hardest task this year is the same as every other year: getting the engineers out of the crate so you can close it up and the FedEx guy can haul it away! |

First off, let me suggest that you read the rules! There is an amazing amount of really good information in them. |

Don't worry so much about the wording of the rules but the intent of the rules. |

[the last period is] a free for all, both goals are turned on, and any robot can go anywhere on the field and score in any goal (although I would recommend scoring in the correct goal, not your opponents :D ) |

This is the first (and, if this stuff keeps up, last) time FIRST has allowed high-speed projectiles in years. Please use some common sense, people. |

Generally, when you do something stupid and unsafe, it isn't the best idea to go and tell thousands of people on CD about it. :rolleyes: |

I always thought a trained bio mechanical monkey wrapped in aluminum foil would be the best robot, but every year my team says "No Pete, go sit down." |

Unfortunately, you cannot always tell when some things are jokes on forums, because we only can rely on text and a limited number of smilies. |

What can you do? The more time you waste here speculating the less time you have to work on the robot. Go! Build Robots! Now! |

Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" |

It is better to err on the side of caution than to put yourself in a position to have a referee or judge make a call against you. Build smart! |

Woodie once said he wanted to make our brains hurt. And I *don't* think he was talking about getting beaned by 198 grams of foam.... |

I was not looking at this as a backdoor to asking Brandon to do it (when I have impossible/unreasonable tasks I want done, I ask him straight out ;-) |

If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) - dlavery [more]
