just a possible option on the church is that when you go to church accepting the lord is known as saving or being saved maybe you will have to save your fellow robots on the field because they could be disabled by the other alliance for one reason or another

(surprised none else thought of that yet or atleast i saw)

this could be refered to as a tackle maybe if it is a football game
and aslo the security place could be a safety as in football position

Yes everyone, we get it, if you interpret the numbers in any way that gives you three points, you get a triangle, which is literally the most boring thing that three points can define.

I still think a slippery baseball game with several scoring zones (field/out-field sort of thing). A reduction on weight limit and In reference to the picture of Dean, Woodie and Don I believe there is going to be some sort of lifting/balancing factor. Since games often borrow from each other and FTC this year has balancing and lifting while vex has a bump, a bridge and lifting.

You guys are going to hate me, but i felt it was necessary to post. In the December 10th post Frank quotes about the field, saying "This was the first time we had a chance to take a look at a fully assembled 2014 season field in person rather than on a display screen or on paper. I thought it looked great. Especially impressive was the...but, I guess I shouldn’t say any more." So from this, I wanted to post the picture they showed us in September. If you look at the left screen, that just so happens to be block from our view, you can see what appears to be a CAD rendering of possibly the 2014 field. Here ya go:

I'd be willing to believe it's a game element... maybe some sort of collection of boxes?

What if, in a twist move, we're playing a scaled up version of FTC Block Party?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Thats what came to mind first for me.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What if it's just some sort of 3D version of Minesweeper?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

With real mines.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Boom theres the game field! Now time to go wake up my team. lol.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

You know, if you rotate that image, it looks rather like a shallow staircase.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Boom is right.

I don't believe the church is that much of a mystery. Its definitely open to over analyzation (and if you guys have something I'd love to here it) as are all aspects of this hint however the church is likely just a hint to tell you that you are looking in the right locations. Every image we've found has FIRST in it. I think its just telling us we might be on to something.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Hmmm.... There have been some suggestions that the game might be a redo of 2004's (10 years ago) FIRST Frenzy. The game featured a pull-up bar very similar to Block Party's. Also, FVC (FIRST Vex Challenege) debuted with a scaled-down FIRST Frenzy, so will FRC this year be a scaled-up Block Party?? FIRST Frenzy also had steps, which may be what is shown on the one monitor.

Combining that with what I said MUCH earlier in the thread about the feet in this image: http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...ff-Filming.jpg

Endgame: 30 points for fully climbing stairs, 15 for being off the ground but not completely up them

30 and 15 were chosen arbitrarily.
