This image Pretty much sums up GDC right now :P

Going on the idea that those numbers signify threads on forums, what if they represent social network accounts (facebook, twitter, g+, etc.)? Or has anyone tried putting those numbers in for youtube videos?

If those are thousands of an inch, its about 4'11" x 3'10.5" and 8" deep.
Big goal?

Also, 1963 is very prominent as a "year"... the year the strike zone in baseball was expanded.

Might be new dimension constraints to go along with the reduces weight

Yarden, although the signs match in both of these pictures, the backgrounds are different. Which one actually corresponds to the coordinate search? also, please explain the entire process you went through to find these; I'm trying to replicate your results and cant quite seem to manage it. Thanks

-. .. ... .. -.-. -. -..-. ---... becomes nisinc which is an anagram for insinc, which gives lots of google results. Just throwing this out there.

No, don't. 1 (or the current 4...) thread is enough.

The zip codes are Rockford IL, Zossen Germany, and Colchester IL where there was a place in England where it was named after. All three have had a civil war to be related to it and in 1963 that was the year MLK have his I give a dream speech about anti slavery. Also if you put 8234 on the map three cities come up. One in Lexumburg, Austria, and Switzerland which were all neutral countries in WWII as well as Zossens colors being blue white and green. And green has been a popular topic on chief Delphi. Therefore I believe in a war based game. Also as some one pointed out before 42 was Jackie Robinsons number, as he broke the color barrier for baseball, which is another hint at a war game.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Here's what I think so far. Hints don't necessarily allude to the game itself, and as such while I agree baseball could be a major part of the hint, I don't think it's about the game theme. Rather, it could be about the way baseball is played, which simply put is teams taking turns as they try to score.
At first I though this sounded somewhat hard to manage, but looking back this is something that was alrady used by FIRST in the game Aim High.
Of course I could be completely wrong, it's just my thoughts on it so far.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I have heard a lot of people talking about baseball, football and hockey, as well as a theme of seeing threes this year. Could it be that there will be multiple types of game objects this year?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

3'10.5" would be about the top of the old strike box on a player. When MLB changed the strike box to go up to the shoulders it would be about 4'11". Also this is right heights for a 5'11" man, Jackie Robinson was 5'11".

We think that it may be recycling water bottles. You may have to sort items between trash and recycling. Triangles have appeared a lot, and the symbol for recycling is the triangle. The water bottles were arranged in a triangle. The coordinates from the original numbers led us to Rockford, IL and Colchester, IL, which have metal recycling facilities. Blue and green have appeared often, which are the colors for recycling.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I think a reliable way to find if the intention of the game hint is this or the other, a good way would be to "backtrack".
Meaning, if you are confident enough that you solved it - show us how the GDC decided on it to be the hint.
Example: The weight limit change theory, show us how the GDC wanted to tell us that the limit has been reduced, and thus how they found that sign and its coordinates.
If someone could both give a solid theory for a hint, and provide a backtrack of that kind- i think it would be pretty solid for a solution.

This must mean the robots have to perform in a boy band (insinc = 'N Sync).
Of course, this has to be done underwater.
