[FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

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?

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

"lift across"...? Hmm.

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

I've said this for years. Hanging.

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

"catching a lift"
"ring"ing phones

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

The car is also known as a Volkswagen Transporter.

AhHa...

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

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?

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

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

Re: [FTC]: FTC 2012-2013 Game Hints
 

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!!

There is a new hint:

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...
