Multiplying the 3 gives you 17737.359248813320791934611015893.

The number contains 737 which is a plane (Boeing 737)

Googling the first 5 decimals (when rounded, so 35925) gives the Delta 35925-SS Vessona Stainless Lavatory Faucet. Delta is an airline.

This game must have planes/flying stuff

I don't know if anybody did this already, but i tried looking up what the names of the teams were that were valid FRC teams.

57-leopards

1963-PSC robotics

That's all I can think of, I don't think it is much help though :(

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

So.. Uh...

Top Ideas:

(1)Baseball
(2)Mashup
(3)Abstract

Reasons:

(1)TRIANGLES
(2)The Google Earth
(3)Water Bottle Picture
(4)Stairs Picture
(5)Dividing, Morse Code, Binary

I doubt any of the others.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

So... Uh... Wow. Any ideas?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I'm not so sure about the sign it is apparently a standard Ohio department of transportation sign and can be found in this document as R-77A on page 9

http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions...20Revision.pdf

so it may or may not just be a sign that was at the right place at the right time.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Okay, so I'm sort of going off of someone else's idea here. I noticed pages back someone mentioned some Fish thing, I don't remember it exactly, but he said he took the sum of the digits in each string. The sums produce the following pattern:
17/12, 16/19, 19/20

If applied to the English Alphabet, it produces this:
Q/L, P/S, S/T

This reduces to:
QLPSST

Applied to every basic Rotation, the following strings are produced:
QLPSST
RMQTTU
SNRUUV
TOSVVW
UPTWWX
VQUXXY
WRVYYZ
XSWZZA
YTXAAB
ZUYBBC
AVZCCD
BWADDE
CXBEEF
DYCFFG
EZDGGH
FAEHHI
GBFIIJ
HCGJJK
IDHKKL
JEILLM
KFJMMN
LGKNNO
MHLOOP
NIMPPQ
OJNQQR
PKORRS


To me, the most notable of these is MHLOOP. If you search it on Google, you should find that it's more commonly referred to as a hysteresis curve, a ferromagnetic property. I am not certain that it means anything, but I finally decided it was worth posting here, considering all of the other crazy ideas people are posting.

Normally, I would be (mostly) satisfied with this interpretation, but only part troubles me. The zero in the last set of numbers. If the numbers were meant to be added, the zero is completely useless.


Anyway, take all of this however you would like. I personally don't think it means too much, but it's the most realistic interpretation I can think of right now.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

well still the dates line up really well and that isn't part of every sign that is a R-77A sign

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

yes but half of the unique value of the sign is that one like it sounded ridiculous now its just a likely coincidence, I'm not saying that it is definitely not that sign but i think we should explore other possibilities since this one Isn't quite as sound as it used to appear.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

If you multiply the numbers you get:
192/35, 72/162, 432/0

Do what you want with this.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Those are 5.485 or so, 0.444444(hint?) and null.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I really like this idea. The Google maps thing doesn't work for me since I'm on mobile right now, but could somebody try to run with this?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

So from what I am reading the game is baseball, with a 25% weight limit reduction, the game may or may not include stairs, and WILL NOT INCLUDE A WATER ELEMENT.:rolleyes:

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Don't be so sure. I have a theory that supports the Water Game.

Dean Kamen visited the Michigan State Championship in 2012.
Michigan has recently been getting a fair amount of winter weather.
There are icicles hanging outside my bedroom window.
Icicles are made of water.
Water game.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Actually, never mind. I think we might've exhausted the hint. Lighter robots playing baseball. Or maybe, maaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyybbbbbbbeeeeeee hockey, just because of the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

It also contains 30 other numbers too, even more when taking into account groups of numbers. A single grouping of a set of numbers in that doesn't mean anything.
