Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Yeah...the football claim doesn't relate at all to the other clues. I've just thought it was going to be a football game for months now. Very little analysis from here ;)

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

That seems a little too similar to LogoMotion if you ask me.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

We did talk about how the hint relates to being Green, so recycling.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Recycling way too fast, even for FIRST. You shoulda heard the comments when LogoMotion (2011) came around only 4 seasons after Rack 'n Roll (2007), which was 10 seasons after the previous game to use inner tubes (back in 1997!). 3 seasons between similar games? WAY too short a turnaround.

2012 to 2006? Better. 2013 to 2012 and 2006? Different game object and no returns, so different game entirely.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I think that is about right, however looking at past games (yes I know the GDC is bound to throw curve balls here and there like last year), we have had 2 strongly shooting games the past 2 years, I'd say we are due for handling game.

Also I think they are hinting at baseball too much in the blog.

This leaves 1 and 3, both i think are highly plausible.

On another note, the abstract hinting at Dr. Who could mean something, but what would be a game that comes from that (obviously cant base game on too much previous knowledge of show cause that would make it too confusing).

Also, in the picture's background i see what looks like 2 upward opening 3's towards what looks like a giant mushroom? idk...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

This picture is just of an airplane cockpit as Derpancakes has said, They most likely filmed somewhere oriented around aircraft.



It is not the exact same, but you get the point.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Dean's a pilot, this could have taken at his home. I remebered from a year or two ago when they first started the pre-taping, the blog said something about filming at Dean's place.

Dean Kamen owns helicopters, and hangers...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Looking at the data located below the image, I was able to draw a few connections:
1. Encoding Process - Baseline DCT.
In baseball, each base is connected by a white baseline. The bases are places where the runner cannot be tagged out. This could mean there could be a zone where robots from another alliance cannot contact robots in that specific zone.(Think of the protected feeder stations and pyramids from Ultimate Ascent.)

2. Exif byte order - Big-endian(Motorola,MM)
In this one, the word "big" stands out the most. This could potentially mean that some aspect of the game is larger than past. This could hint to larger game pieces, larger alliances, or a longer match. There are many possibilities with this one.

3. Compression - JPEG(old style)
Compression is a way of making an image's file size smaller. Therefore we may have to build smaller robots this year. This is further supported by the 25% weight limit sign that we had come across earlier. Before an image is compressed, the file size is much larger than after it is compressed. This hints to the possibility of certain objectives requiring a robot to either increase or decrease in size.

Something else to pay attention to is the use of an older form of JPEG compression. This could be telling us that some aspects of the game may be 'borrowed' from a previous FRC or FTC game, as the term 'old-style' is used.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

This actually is a smart idea. Just throwing this out here, what is the speculated field CAD that i had brought up is a corral that the robot will need to fit into? Like a box.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Nearly any image that isn't raw from the camera is compressed. I doubt it's significant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I know that. The fact that this is present in the data sheet may still be of significance. I also find it interesting that JPEG is noted twice on the datasheet.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Hmm...

That image reminds me of Microsoft Flight Simulator...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Lately, we have made several connections to aircraft, as well as baseball and football. Combining these connections together, we can speculate that we will be required to shoot game pieces through the air. Baseballs, footballs, and airplanes travel in some sense, through the air. Therefore, we may be flinging game pieces this year, which will present a decent design challenge, as we have seen in past games.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I am guessing the details on the photo description are just to describe the photo. I am sure they wrote that there are no game hints in the photo because they knew that a photo like that at this time of year would raise suspicion from people like us. I think they just wanted to post a picture of them filming the kickoff video. However, the one bit of info the picture will tell us towards the game is that there are likely game hints in other pictures or blog posts, as I think (someone more experienced can back this up) there have been in the past. Trying to make connections from that picture that are likely pure coincidence or just normal filming studio conditions (ie. water bottle triangles or green screens) is getting us nowhere.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

8234/57 = 144.45614035087719298245614035088
61126/1963 = 31.139072847682119205298013245033
62326/15806 = 3.9431861318486650638997848918132

it comes out to roughly 179.5. Round that up and it's 180. I looked it up. It comes out to either having the same sizes as a soccer field or little league baseball field. Both would be cool

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Soccer and Baseball are both sports that use a ball. This, along connections to airplanes, and sports that involve tossing, hitting, or kicking a ball through the air, means that we will be launching a ball into a goal of some sorts, as we did in '06. Also, we have mentioned earlier that we are due for a ball game this year, according to trends concerning game pieces. (Basically, the game pieces each year have alternated between balls and irregular shapes since the 90's. Last year, the game piece was irregularly shaped (frisbee), so if current trends continue, the game piece will be a ball this year.)

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

We have wayyyy to many ideas for this year. Let's hope its one of them. Back to interpretations.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Regarding the Kickoff filming picture. I really don't think it's worth our time trying to interpret it as a game hint. They did say that there is no game clue in the photo. Do we really want to stoop low enough to assume that FIRST would blatantly lie about that fact? They specifically stated that there is no clue. I am going to believe it and think about other sources of information such as the blog post title "2014 Game Hint"

That's my opinion.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Last year we were at least trying to interpret the right game hint. And we had some sense of direction with that poem.

This year we have like fifty different directions, and they're all flimsy.
I don't think we're going to get any further with this one. I love game hint speculation, but some of this is ridiculous sounding for EVEN the GDC.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What's the consensus on Andy Baker's baseball video at this point? I'm feeling like the bulk of the evidence (including that video and the other statements from first and andymark) is pointing in the direction of a baseball-related game. I will also point out that the first thing I noticed about "The Photo" is that the green screen reminds me of the Green Monster. The official hint seems likely to be about weight limits in one way or another, and unrelated to the "theme". So...

If it is baseball, how do you think it could be played? I'm not inclined to think that the only baseball-like part of the game would be the size of the balls; that's too much like Aim High. If it's hitting or striking balls, that might be an interesting challenge. Baseball, by it's nature, is slow moving, which doesn't fit very well with FRC's style. How do you imagine the sport might be modified or adapted to make it a viable FRC game?

I don't have very many answers at this point, and I realize that whatever we imagine, it probably won't turn out to be correct. Still I'd love to see what you all think might be possible.

Thanks!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

@FRCTeams just tweeted this:

Yes...kind of RT @2767StrykeForce: Less than a week until kickoff! Has anyone figured out the hint? #omgrobots

In my opinion this is the FRC telling us that someone, in some thread read by them, is on the right track. I propose we go back through past suggestions no matter how unusual and make sure we didn't push something aside that was somewhat correct.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Alright, well what if the 25% weight reduction is for the game pieces as opposed to the robots? It would be quite a lot for robots. We really should figure out a way to tie in the other portions of that hint. I've heard basically nothing about the other two FIRST signs.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

in January 1608 at Jamestown, Christopher Newport returns in a ship with the FIRST Supply and about 100 new settlers; he finds only 38 survivors.
In April 1608 at Jamestown, Christopher Newport again sails for England.

Co-incidence?

Water game?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

It would be 30 lbs - which would reduce the robot's weight to 90 lbs.


I looked up some stuff based on 16:20 (1620.)

July 15 – The ship Speedwell departs Delfshaven with the Leiden colonists and Pilgrims.

August 5 (O.S.) – The Mayflower and Speedwell depart together from Plymouth, England, but the Speedwell starts to leak again and must stop.

September 6 (O.S.) – The Mayflower departs from Plymouth, England, on its 3rd attempt without the Speedwell, arriving on November 11 (Old Style date) at Cape Cod (named from Concord voyage of 1602).

November 21 (N.S.) – The Mayflower arrives inside the tip of Cape Cod, with the Pilgrims and Planters.

December 21 – Plymouth Colony: William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims land on what is now known as Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

How heavy was the previous kitbot? The 25% weight reduction might be just referring to the transition to the new one.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

The 2013 kitbot is listed at 26 pounds. I believe the information posted for this year's was 22 pounds...? I don't quite recall.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Going with the idea of baseball and the 25% weight reduction, going from a softball to a baseball is a 25% weight reduction.
A softball can range in size anywhere from 6.25 to 7 oz. The largest weight I found online was 7 oz.
A standard Major League Baseball weighs between 5 and 5.25 oz.
So if you take the largest possible size of the two balls, 7 and 5.25 oz. that is EXACTLY a 25% weight reduction.
So could this mean we must score both baseballs and softballs into goals? Or maybe we'll play baseball with specific softball rules? I'm not familiar with softball rules, they may be the same as baseball. Anyway... this is too much of a coincidence to just pass up.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I like that concept! Many rules about softball are the same with baseball, with some exceptions with leading off and some other rules. That's a very interesting concept, similar to FTC 2012-2013, where some rings were different weights.. Where we could have softballs and baseballs, where the baseballs have to go into one goal and softballs have to go into another

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Or perhaps softballs are the endgame but have special rules. I've followed baseball for a while and yeah, the rules don't differ very much except with regards to pitching (baseball is any way you want, softball has to be underhand) so maybe there's limits on how we can launch the balls?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What if the softballs have to be thrown with some sort of appendage? Instead of wheels..

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Throwing arms? Don't even start.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What year was there a 90 pound weight limit? Going back to the discussion pages ago, they might be bringing back that game.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

There hasn't been one that low since at least 1996, possibly back to 1992. Not even the tallest robots in 2006 were that low (100 lb for a 6' maximum starting height).

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

After a lot of confusing math and research
I have a come to the idea that we may be playing water polo this year.

Andy knows as much as anyone else in this thread about the next game; he's in the same group as all of us. If anything, it's him playing baseball, and that's it.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Hey guys,

check out this link below; it offers a ton of analysis and it appears to be a "water game" (most likely not with real water). :D

http://lablayers.deviantart.com/jour...ndup-421735515

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Are we sure this is correct? AndyMark designs, builds, tests, sells, and distributes game-specific materials for FRC. I think he, at minimum, knows about things such as size and weight restrictions, allowable motors, etc. His company would not survive a single build season if they stocked products based on a faulty guess about products.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

This is correct. I was told through a friend whos friend works for AndyMark, that they work with FIRST when it comes to the KOP and also some parts of the game. He does know more than we do.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

http://i.imgur.com/YjtI0ND.png

the fact of the sign saying that the weight limit is reduced tells us that we will have to create, or be in, a certain equilibrium with the game environment. it just might be a water game where we all have to float our robots ( we'll have to see how that works out). another idea going around is that it might be a lunar/moon based theme. I was thinking that the reduced weight would be required if we were being hanged from something, as if trying to simulate zero gravity. or the theme could be an underwater astronaut training facility (just throwing that out there).

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What is the link for this? I beleive we have worn down this game hint, lets more on to figuring out the game name! If we can get it then we will (almost) know the game!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

0 21 10 11 1_0 21 6 1 6 21 43 11_9 21 10 3 10 15

Obviously numbers to letters wont work as there is a 43.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I would venture to guess that they have a non-disclosure agreement like anyone else would; of course, they could always work in an exception that allows AndyMark or some particular representative to disclose pre-approved "spoilers" for the game. There are a gazillion examples of this happening with other companies to increase buzz on upcoming products.

And I think that's what's happening here.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

as of now, the best option to crack the code is to crack their system. I feel like this is a red herring, and well probably have to play some far out game that involves lots of crashing and lots of parts falling off.

sheesh, I feel like I'm in a real life da vinci code situation!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I was thinking it may still be letters to numbers, but not necessarily in order. Maybe A=3, B=10, etc. They just want us to figure out a lettering pattern and come up with ideas from there.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

just noticed on the Nov. 25 photo, am I the only one that noticed that the red light on the upper left of the picture looks like it doesn't belong there?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Did anyone notice that FIRST gave us the 2009 KOP on Solidworks? 2009 was the Lunacy challenge which we used the slick, hard plastic wheels on the plastic floor. The game must be Hockey or something like that. Using these wheels

Just to add to the weight theme that has been going around. Here is a tweet that @FRCTeams retweeted

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Has anyone thought that it making clear references to hockey and baseball may be a hint to the scoring element? Both hockey and baseball use what is basically a stick to hit an object to score. So maybe the element will be sticks? It It could be a similar to the FTC game Get Over It! That also satisfies the reusing idea...

So the order in which the number appears in the first number of the set doesn't matter as far as solving the hint, but the second number apparently does.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Something to note:

61126 shifted 2 left becomes 12661 and 62326 shifted 2 left becomes 32662. This tells me it's a cipher and that these are not equations.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

The first set of numbers was the "iffy" one [edit: not "presumably", that's what he said], because it has been entirely changed. For the other two, the order of the digits in the first number was changed, but '1963' and '15806' were not changed at all.

So, we know they're NOT:

-ZIP codes
-Ratios
-Coordinates

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Using the idea that the first number (EDIT: Of each pair) is a date, I searched June 14, 1974, December 6, 1961 (Could be January 26, '61 however), and March 26, 1962.

Those dates yielded some interesting results. June 14th '74 was the date Nolan Ryan stuck out 19 Red Sox in 12 innings. December 6, 1961 was the day the Heisman was awarded in that particular year. March 26 1962 was the birthday of several athletes, covering Baseball, basketball and soccer, and was the day the inventor of wax paper died.

January 26, 1961 (the alternative option to Dec 6 61) was the day Elvis Presley's hit "Are you lonesome tonight?" peaked to #1, and is the birthday of Hockey great Wayne Gretzky.

Lots of references to sports.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Hey all! Sorry if any of this has been seen already, but a bunch of things just clicked in my head and I want to get them out

I knocked the ratios down to decimal numbers, and I got(assuming I did my math right):

455.36, 6.45, and 2.07

Since there are 3 numbers, they could not possibly be used for coordinates, so I had to think, 'what else could we use these decimal numbers for?'.

Then I saw the Dr Who image, so I started thinking about Tennant's run.

Then I thought about The Library. The Dewey Decimal System.

Looking up those numbers, this is the categories that they reference:

455.36: Basic Grammar, specifically, Italian (probably irrelevant, that last bit)

6.45 is acoustical pattern recognition, and the only classification in the DDS below that is Speech Recognition (!!!!!). Consider the new abilities of the Microsoft Kinect 2.0 (then again, it is built into the system so...)

2.07 was just meta-book stuff. Not sure what to make of it.

So there's that. I might be way off, but it's something at least, right?

In the new numbers they kept the division of the numbers, you can express a division as / or : so this could be a kind of hint. :ahh:

Again, please continue the discussion of the updated game hint on the updated Game Hint thread.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

61474:135, 12661:1963, 32662:15806

if we think of them as ratios and simplify them we get this.
1:455.3629, 1:6.4498, 1:2.0664

if we round we get
1:455, 1:6, 1:2

Those that ring a bell to anyone???

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Listen to this person. The hint has already been figured out, most likely correctly, on the other thread, and it makes a lot more sense than any of the other guesses.
Edit: Well, figured out what the numbers mean. Not quite to the point of "Hint Solved" yet.
