I did not have time to read all the post but I would like to make this observation. Diamond tread plate is used on platforms as a non-skid surface. Just a guess but five platforms at different elevations. Maybe a stair configuration to get to some kind of goal or retreive a game element.

In the blue background there are two groups of five smiley faces, one on the right side and the other on the left side of the DP.

I predict we'll be seeing the GDC wearing powder blue tuxedos and singing this song at kickoff.

...Give me one, two, three, four, give me five...

The group you've all been waiting for..... the lovers of five!

I think the game will put a huge emphasis on robot manuverability because the number five has many arcs and I think the pattern that the robots will have to manuver around goals with with resembe a five due to the five goals on the field that resemble the five of diamonds in a card deck.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the explanation of the 2007 FRC Game Hint.

Yes, I know it's complicated at first, but once you watch it a few times it all comes together. Notice the illuminated '5'. Doesn't it all make sense?

I don't know what is wierder, this or the Pokemon.

If this actually happens, I will be scared. :ahh:

Well I just think that it has nothing to do with the game. Instead all they are going to do is count backwards before they show us the game.

It's getting a bit too close to kick-off for that theory, isn't it? Less than four days to go, and the 5 is still there.

this probably doesn't mean anything but did anybody notice how the top of the circular diamond plate is cut of in a straight line like the top of the 5 and the bottom of the diamond plate is still kinda round like the curve on the 5.

Whoah! There are people on both edges of the diamond plate! In the upper left edge of the diamond plate, and the center right edge of the diamond plate in the large image on FIRST's website.

http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedImage.../2007Clue1.jpg

Not only, are they faces, but they appear to be the faces of the crowd that have appeared in previous Havabanana productions, just stretched a little, as though they were looking at a rounded object. :ahh:

EDIT: The people are in the blue at the edge locations that I mentioned before. Sorry, I was thinking faster than I could type.

In response to Joel: IDK. Recently, as when I was messing with it in photoshop last week, it was smaller. Perhaps the the GDC realized that the people were not visible in the smaller image. I know I couldn't detect them.

When you said that I thought of the HAL 9000.

BTW: when did the picture get larger?

From our perspective, could we be looking out at the people through something, like a lens?

EDIT: are you seeing the color in the diamond plate? pinky red, speckly.

Ok..I've just done some Photoshop on the photo...
I have nitced that the "5" in the picture has the diamond pattern on it, meaning that the picture was made in a few steps:
First they made the background
Then they put a silver colored ring
Then they put the 5 on it
And onlt then, they made the daimonds...

So that actually means that the 5 and the platform have something to do with each other.... and i personnaly think that that means the 5 isnt the number of bots in the game or anything like it.
The "5" has something to do with the diamond platform. But what?

Maybe the "5" is some kind of a shadow falling from somewhere?

I really wanna figure it our before kick-off. DAve, help us please, help..mayday...
