Frank isn’t giving us a hint.

He’s inferring that on a match-by-match basis, the aggregate group of us will be fine with this game. But on a holistic scale, there will be a fragmented group who will be so annoyed with the upcoming game that they will come together and consider sacking FIRST HQ.

sounds like a prediction for every season.

#35

Great use of 2d parts to achieve complex 3d geometry!

#36

Yes. That might not every get old

Ice cream also has no bones. I think there is a connection…

Ducks McGucks?
(Or, technically, Seagull McGeegull)

Seriously: This may have been a potential game piece in for testing. The background looks like the basement of FIRST Place.

My dad used to sing, “I love bananas, because they have no bones.”

#38

You obviously missed Solar Slingshot. (It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping in one!)

And coconuts?

#43

Carried by swallows, of course.

Now, whether those swallows are African or European is an open question.

#44

Mirror please?

#45

I think you might have to like the page on fb to watch it, but basically when they press down on the ducks the second time it plays the John Cena music.

The GDC will fail to specify and it will cause a disaster at the Week 0 event (or whatever we decided to call it) and cause several team’s robots to need complete redesign.

So is it just a coincidence that this video is posted on the same day that Tom Brady’s suspension was overturned? I am actually serious when I say this points to footballs being used as game pieces not deflatable duck toys. Also 50 years of NFL? If footballs will be used as game pieces this will be the year.

#48

I like that :slight_smile:

#49

NFL was founded in 1920.
