Team Update 17

FIRST General Forum
#53

Absolutely nothing? Au contraire! Let it be noted in the annals of FIRST history that on this day the game design committee did NOT choose to change, clarify, explain, or interpret ANY PART of the 2010 Manual.

And of course if you print the update and hold it up to a candle for a few moments, the following message will appear:

Pick 67 or 469.

So did I…then I laughed harder when I saw this post.

#55

For a change, no changes!

Maybe that will change in Update 18 (AKA: the 469 update). :stuck_out_tongue:

#56

Yeah, cause 469 doesn’t play again until Troy Week 4, so why would the GDC want to give them more than 2 days to come up with a new design? :ahh:

#57

And this is nothing… so then, is it as it appears?:confused: :cool:

#58

Nothing is as it appears… hmm…

Ahhh, too much thinking…

public something appearsLike(Something nothing)
{
if(nothing == appearsLike(nothing)
{
return appearsLike(nothing);
}
else
{
DIVIDE BY ZERO
}

}

Hah! I made a program to figure out Dave’s game hint. :stuck_out_tongue: Silly recursion.

#59

Only experts in interpreting game hints can find the hidden meaning of Update 17.

#60

So then it means we all need to PICK 229 instead of 67 or 469!

#61

In other words, no one.

#62

I had an oooo crap moment when i saw this.

This will be great April fools ammunition for tomorrow. :smiley:

Note to anyone considering this: Don’t do this to a mentor when he’s celebrating an anniversary, causing him to drop everything to check the update. :rolleyes: His wife thought it was amusing though.

Sorry Chad! :sheepish grin:

He’s my ride to my next event. Uh-oh!

#64

Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll still have space for you … maybe on the roof rack :stuck_out_tongue:

#65

Read between the lines guys, seriously. :rolleyes:

#66

I suppose we need a new thread - The Update, it fixes nothing! (AKA: why is everyone so excited about Update #17?)

I laughed a little. :stuck_out_tongue:

#67

Did any other mentors send their team(s) an e-mail announcing a quiz on Team Update 17? One of our mentors, Danny Diaz, did. Today is travel day to Dallas. He is so mean. :slight_smile:

I can’t wait for them to release the one scheduled for March 30 a couple of days late…

…and then have it announce that for all future matches, there will only be one soccer ball.

#69

Ergo, this update is just what it appears to be: nothing.

#70

But he does wear a chicken. :confused:

And he’s not that mean when he works with the FLL kids. Maybe he just doesn’t like teenagers. :smiley:

#71

He is a tease. A big one. And he loves his chicken hat. He ALWAYS wears it at the Worlds in ATL. I’m making his chicken a ref shirt. :slight_smile:

And, he may never admit how much he loves the students on our team but when we have Senior Toast night the Friday of competition at Lone Star, he has been known to get all mushy. Don’t tell him I said that though.

I think we just got FIRST roll’d?
