[FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints

[Tamloo]

The first game hint has finally arrived. The game hint was posted on the FTC blog at http://firsttechchallenge.blogspot.c...game-time.html.

The first game hint is supposedly a bus...

What do you guys think? What kind of make/model is the bus and what can it mean?

[TRWSHSHLX]

"lift across"...? Hmm.

And whenever I see a bus, I think "under the bus". So... Maybe robots have to go underneath something?

[Andrew Remmers]

I've said this for years. Hanging.

[normalmutant]

"catching a lift"
"ring"ing phones

[Christian Z]

The car is also known as a Volkswagen Transporter.

From what I see on other posts, lifting, ring'ing, and transporting. Doesn't this sound like Logo Motion?

You have to catch something perhaps?

[Tamloo]

I personally like the "under the bus" idea as I see where it comes from. And I also like the transporting idea as well. Both are great!... well, all ideas are great but I like those two the best. But again... who knows!

Notice that there is a poster of a robot R2D2? hanging on the light post and a repair man up there too.

Here I go:
Back from "summer vacation". They were in a Volkswagen.
Volkswagen are German.
German summer holidays include "assumption day" in which Mary ascended into heaven. You could say she "climbed there"
They "caught a lift" in the VW.

Something to do with lifting and/or climbing.

That's what I think.

so the bus is a vw transporter and they said they caught a lift on the robobus,
so if you type in "Volkswagen Transporter robot bus" on google, http://www.collectablescorner1.com/s...-Robots/Detail comes up, maybe it has something to do with the movie robots

[Wiifi]

It is going to be all about parallel parking. Robobus got lucky! But that car in front of it... Well good luck to them on getting out without hitting anything!!

I am thinking a Logomotion (FRC 2011) Overdrive (FRC 2010) hybrid.

I see poles that have potential to be used for climbing!

Ringing phones, now telephone wires...
