Hey! So I know this is kind of early… But does anyone know when the game hint will come out? 
December, like they always do.
2014 (Kickoff Date: 1/4/13) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/13)
2013 (Kickoff Date: 1/5/13) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/12)
2012 (Kickoff Date: 1/7/12) = 1st Game Hint (12/02/11)
2011 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/11) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/10), 2nd Game Hint (1/4/11)
2010 (Kickoff Date: 1/9/10) = 1st Game Hint (12/24/09), 2nd Game Hint (1/6/10)
2009 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/09 ) = 1st Game Hint (12/4/08), 2nd Game Hint (12/11/08),
2008 (Kickoff Date: 1/12/08) = 1st Game Hint (12/15/07), 2nd Game Hint (12/21/07), 3rd Game Hint (1/02/08)
2007 (Kickoff Date: 1/13/07) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/06)
2006 (Kickoff Date: 1/7/06) = 1st Game Hint (12/23/05)
2005 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/05) = 1st Game Hint (12/30/04)
2004 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/04) = 1st Game Hint (1/6/04)
The actual game hint will come out in late December, as it always does.
Several dozen things that will be falsely interpreted as game hints will or have already come out at a steady pace from now up until kickoff, or maybe even after kickoff if next year’s game lacks an endgame.
Why does this thread even exist?
Where is the Super ‘Like’ button???
No. Just no.
I actually clicked on this thinking an official hint was already out. I quit with this.
pls no
Not like we would figure out the game even with a hint 7 months in advance.
I can actually tell you that FIRST doesnt even know yet what game we are gonna play so how would they have to give us a hint then lol.
Games are designed at least a year in advance. While I cannot say for certain, I would guess they are currently fine-tuning the 2015 game. However, someone with more knowledge than I may be able to say with more clarity.
It’s in the top right corner of the post in the form of a scale.
FRC withdrawal setting in fast huh?
Isn’t it obvious? With the new “waterproof” components being released?
We will be playing Water Polo next year.
I hope the pool isn’t too deep for the horses. :deadhorse:
No. Not this thread.
Not in MAY! :ahh:
Didn’t they tell us a couple of years that they have started planning games 3 years in advance now?
Yes, but they still tweak things based on what went well and what didn’t. Every year is a learning experience for the GDC and they try to implement those lessons immediately rather than three years after the fact.
Right, I was just expanding on

Think about it. A golf game. 3 sections, 1st nice green carpet, 2nd water with bridges no sides, 3rd bumpy terrain with holes in diamond plate at different heights that balls must be hit into. Each alliance has 150 balls randomly placed over entire field. Balls retrieved from water score 3x points. End game would be robots on floating barges on each side of bridges.
Water aside, I think golf game would be cool. However, how do you yell “fore” in robot language?
probably not going to happen for safety reasons. Unless you put some netting, there is no way to insure no one will get injured by flying golf-balls
