It’s obviously a water game. They said nothing about the truss actually being a water-shooting unicorn to teach teams how to think quickly and build a water-gliding robot in under 3 days.
I’ll back you up on this, this is the first thing I thought of when I saw #serveAyear. Sounds like they’re getting some new kind of mentor/volunteer involvement from them or a similar program (Teach for America?).
It’s FAR too early do be doing the whole “OMG game hint!” thing…
I also agree with that hashtag. It really can’t be an endgame or an addition to the game. Unless if Americorps VISTAs is sponsoring this addition. In all reality it is most likely going to be a announcement that they will be attending the world competititon
And it’s especially weird that it’s the “right” logo with the wrong website (I’m assuming that since the partner is very specifically FIRST, they didn’t get that wrong).
I’m pretty sure an American service campaign is not in direct partnership with an organization in Blackburn (in Great Britain).
EDIT: I’ve looked for contact email, anyone got one to notify them. It’s a pretty harmless mistake.
EDIT2: Emailed ServiceNation, who seems to be heading the campaign. Hopefully they will know what to do.
VISTAs have attended CMP in the past and will be again this year. The VISTA program was expanded greatly over the last year and they are still in the process of expanding.
Note the one website says that they are looking to publicize the VISTA program in general and that the listed partners, which are a limited subset of programs supported by VISTA, will be a part of it.
