Someone mentioned that there were 2 red light, 2 green screens, and 2 blue lights in that picture. Is it possible that the hint lists the coordinates in RGB.

And going on youtube looking for 'Rockford 1963' I got to this video.
I don't know about you but imo drones would be a pretty cool concept.

That's it! We have to build amphibious robots that can fly, thus being a water game and an aerial game!

5 digits and a mirrored number?

Radar and Rotor stand out here.

Might be of interest. Perhaps the digits stand for letters

I've been trying for a while with this, and gotten nowhere. There's a ton of 6's so I set six equal to e, but the only words that start and end in e (for 61126) is efface, and there aren't any palindromes like that (for 62326). Then, I tried with two letters is, in, my, at, or, and couldn't get anywhere with that either.

Here's the shitz:
Here are the points mapped in a Cartesian coordinate system:

Here's the photo from the kickoff filming blog post:


Take a look at the shape of the water bottles on the floor! Odd, euh?

3 bottles, 3 people. 2 green screens, 2 red lights, 2 blue lights = 3 alliances of 2 teams each!

Now what's more?
Woodie and Don Bossi are sitting whilst Dean is standing. Two Bottles are on the floor and one is lifted. Can it mean anything?!

This may be over analyzing, but look at deans feet, I wonder if that is significant at all as it looks really uncomfortable for him.

I'm thinking something about placing things or stacking them. We have zip codes mentioned, they represent placing things on a map. Tis a great day to prototype an elevator lift.

I am pretty sure analyzing his posture is over analyzing

Over analyzing is scratching the surface.

Every page on the usfirst website now begins with "www3" instead of "www".

Checking the latest cache of the usfirst website on Google shows that (at least on Dec. 16), usfirst used the "www" subdomain (aka. prefix) site wide.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=us

So someone changed the subdomain to "www3".

The number three does seem to be an important number this year...

This is really common for websites where content is hosted on multiple servers. Right now, if I go to the site, I still get www. It depends on when you make the request and how many people are making the request at the same time. It's not a hint, it's always been like this.

Three of the numbers; 61126, 62326, and 15806; appear on the Wikipedia list of minor planets. Could this be a hint?

You mean Interstate 90? It says that was completed in 1958... ::rtm::

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 
coming up in 2014, it will be the 57th anniversary for all companies established in 1957. just an idea. also, as for 1963, some big events... Postal codes introduced, Nasa launches first geosynchronous (stationary) satellite. Kennedy was assassinated. Also, 3 plane crashes as well as a spaceplane crash. seemed like some of the biggest news.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 
So here is my idea and i know its a stretch but eh when arent these hints stretches

61126 when added = 16
1963 when added = 19

--- both are the numbers of joe Montana

Now 8234 and 57

He is 57 currently
82 was his pick number
57-34= 23 his age when he was drafted into the nfl

Finally 62326 and 15806

62326 when added = 19
15806 when added = 20

1920 was the year the nfl changed it's name temporarily to apfa

So there's my idea!!! How cool would a football game be?? What are you guys thinking ??

- team 2265 The Femaidens :)
