More precisely a sphere.

Picture?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Well I think that gives us a decent indication that it could be similar to Logomotion atleast with game pieces.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

If you type in "61126/1963" into Google Maps it should show a map of course. Anyways many people are pointing out the obvious post office well what about the water tower that is near it? There is a water tower.

Water game anyone?

Maybe we have to climb a water tower this year hahahahah:rolleyes:

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Logomotion didn't have any spherical game pieces though. FIRST has been following a pattern for a while now where they go back and forth from a ball like object to an irregular object.

2013: Ultimate Ascent - Frisbee: Irregular
2012: Rebound Rumble - Basketball: Ball
2011: Logomotion - Tubes- Irregular
2010: Breakaway - Soccer Ball: Ball
2009: Lunacy - The open air cells: Irregular
2008: FIRST Overdrive: Trackballs: Ball
2007: Rack 'n Roll: Tubes: Irregular
2006: Aim High: Balls: Ball
2005: Triple Play: Triangles: Irregular

It would make sense for the game piece to be a ball this year. I think that the graphing is brilliant, and that part of the clue is that it is a spherical game piece, but that each fraction is also a game hint.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What if the numbers somehow relate to the different possible patterns for games (ball/no-ball, sport/no-sport, etc.)?

Attachment 15625

When you put the three destinations stated thus far into google maps you form a triangle.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I would be very careful making up 'patterns.' Many thought that there was also a 'sports game pattern' too:

2006: Aim High - Mesoamerican ballgame
2007: Rack 'n Roll - Abstract
2008: FIRST Overdrive - NASCAR
2009: Lunacy - Abstract
2010: Breakaway - Soccer
2011: Logomotion - Abstract
2012: Rebound Rumble - Basketball

So 2013 was expected to be an abstract, non-sports game, but then they threw Ultimate Frisbee at us. :o Boom, pattern broken.

Also, I would call 2009 ball, not irregular in your 'pattern.' The game pieces were called 'Orbit Balls' after all!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

That pattern goes back farther than that. The ones I know for sure are that 2002 and 2004 had balls and 2003 did not, but I've read that the pattern extends into the 1990's.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

2004 - FIRST Frenzy - Ball
2003 - Stack Attack - Box
2002 - Zone Zeal - Ball
2001 - Diabolical Dynamics - Ball

Sorry.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Just saying, any three noncolinear points will form a triangle...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Yeah, I was just about to say that. Still, important to note the number 3.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

The number 3 is as useless as triangles are. I can also make 4's or 2's or 1's out of anything they throw at us.

Dinner missed = plate/frisbee.
Holding weight= climbing the pyramid.

If youre here to discuss the relevance of game hints, youre in the wrong thread. If youre here to relate your favorite show or sport to the next frc game, youre in the wrong thread. The water game talk is common, but its been ridiculously overdone this year. Then again, I have no say over how you interpret the hint. Just keep it productive. Work off of others. This is how we get closer to answering these things.

Also I want to point out that in 2011 we were shown a picture of a LOCOMOTIVE well before the first game hint came out. Keep an eye on prior blog posts.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I added the numbers and found their geo-coordinates im getting Forest City, PA. gonna keep working on this..
