Which is why I said the official logo won’t be released with the teaser. We might get a portion but it likely won’t be the actual game logo.

#24

I’m calling a video game theme, maybe space invaders theme. All the sci-fi stuff in the previous teaser update, and now lots of references to video games, seems like a possibility to me.

#25

Half life 3 confirmed?

#26

DLC and Space Themed?

FIRST Space Invaders 2017

#27

Maybe Kerbal Space Program based? :smiley:

#28

What about Galaga? :smiley:

(Not that Space Invaders is bad, but I’ve played Galaga more and it has more to it.)

#29

FIRST really does enjoy watching us squirm with their teasers, don’t they?

I’ll be hiding in my cave, hibernating until the game is out

Your team has a cave?!?!? OMG, how did you guys get that?!?! Do you have a cave sponsor? We tried talking to cave sponsors but none of them responded. You guys must be an elite team to have a cave.

#31

Darn elite teams and their mentor-built caves.

#32

More importantly, if elite teams have professional mentors that build their caves, that must mean that “professional cave-builder” is an actual job, and I am now strongly reconsidering my career choice.

#33

Did somebody mention a CAVE?

Full disclosure: I get to ‘work’ in a 4 sided projector wall CAVE that we have here at Boeing. It’s pretty cool.

#34

You guys must sponsor that one team on The Fosters!

#35

Too bad that team got knocked out in the end, they really had a great strategy and a solid design. I was rooting for them throughout it.

#36

Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There’s already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is.

#37

When the electrical team is soldering, I’m stepping out.

#38

We had a code-cave, a few years ago. Programmers went in, but not much code came out until we ran a long Ethernet cable to reach the robot.

After our shop was completely remodeled, we lost the code-cave. But, now we can see our programmers. They actually touch the robot, and not just to plug in! Some of them even drive! I don’t ever want them going back in a cave again.

According to Google Maps, it’s about 5-1/2 hours from Gotham to Rochester. :smiley:

#41

Why Gotham when we’ve got the real deal around these parts.

#42

No way, this is only 2 hours away! I need to take a visit there sometime
