However, I don't want this to happen strongly enough to waste the GDC's time on it.

Well, you don't have to be the one wasting their time; someone else beat you to it. Take a look at this year's Chute Door: Sally Port. We shall see if the results are similar to last year's.

I wonder if that's intentional or not. Things like "chute door" are only funny because they weren't forced and I feel like the chute door meme is being forced now.

Couldn't just about anything that the spy brings next to the field be a "signalling/pointing device"? I'd put good money on at least one team bringing something (not necessarily used as a pointing device) outside the box and having it provide a competitive advantage. Maybe a 6 foot wide mirror to 'signal' to the driveteam so they can see if there are any boulders hiding on the far side of the defenses, similar to 1986's mirror in 2010?

You saw what happened when someone asked the GDC what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow was, right?



(For anybody who's seen that movie, their response was as expected.)

The real question is "does an unladen swallow used as a message delivery device (aka carrier pigeon) count as unpowered?"

A. It would be considered unpowered, unless you switched it on. Then it would be powered. It would be fine to use, switched off, as a pointing device, in just the same way you would use a baguette or a leg of mutton.

Is this the 2016 version of "Chute door? Yes, chute door."?
