Patiently waiting for hint #2

Well we figured out hint #1.

Locomotion= towing something. This is all we care to divulge on this. ::rtm::

Now we need the rest of the clue coming on hint #2

after looking at the pdf found here, it says “The 2011 Hint”. After seeing that, it looks like it might be the only one

There certainly are quite a few responses in the Game Hint #1 thread. Everything is speculation at this point.

By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They’re still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You’re still way behind.

I’m hoping that we receive hint #2 a week before kickoff. This will give a huge spark to all teams and get the FIST community buzzing.

So all I want for Christmas is Hint #2.

Dear Dave,

I’ve been a good student this year. Can I have hint #2 for Christmas?

No wonder!

But 71 is still behind 25, who has made 3 different robots for 2011 for small scrimmages, finished the mechanical side of things with their 2012 robot, and is water-proofing their electronics as we speak for the 2013 game. :stuck_out_tongue:

Bill’s blog said “In light of the upcoming holidays, stand by next week for upcoming game hints.”

I also believe that Dave has been hinting at multiple hints (facepalm), and while that doesn’t mean much on it’s own, I’ll believe what Dave says if there’s some kind of backup from Bill.

Don’t worry, the 2010 one said the same thing.

Password is 2010DecryptTest

When I saved it, the image title was “FRC 2011 Game Hint 1” which implies there will be a FRC 2011 Game Hint 2.

i hope the next hint is an anagram…those are more fun :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, they the FRC 2011 Game Hint 2 isn’t already uploaded…(assuming it has the same file extension, and is in the same directory, and has the same name pattern (FRC 2011 Game Hint #))

Last year, they didn’t use similar name patterns, I don’t know what the names were, but they followed different patterns.

sorry if I was redundant

When I saw this thread, all I could think of was, “Wasn’t one enough!!!?” :stuck_out_tongue:

Answer to Game Hint #2: Everything you guessed in Game Hint #1 is false. Spend 48 more hours dismantling the hints.

that would be beyond cruel

Game Hint #2: An easy to figure out hint that gives a password to the game PDFs, but the password unlocks a fake version of the manual, leading to the greatest red herring in the history of FIRST.

That would be AWESOME! However, the manuals would have to be obviously fake if you read over them.

Or at least like those tests that they used to give in school on following directions where the first direction is to skip all the questions and go right to the end. Make one of the rules be that these rules are not real.

Not really all they have to do is “accidentally” post an “early edition” of the manual, then drop the hint #2 knowing that eventually we would try the password on the old one. The manual could be perfectly believable up until the day of kickoff when a completely different game is revealed
