Think different, no more coordinates, lets try something else. what else could those numbers represent?

I'd have to say it has revealed a large amount of info, given that we've found reference to the song "truckin" , Daves status on facebook was also "truckin".
And the Hancock tower has 2 HUGE counterweights in the top a really unique system that has to be quite rare. And i don't think its by chance we've been pointed towards it with gps coordinates.

i think 2 huge weights could be trucking

Has anyone considered the possibility that the third number is a direction?

342.242026 could mean 17.755974 degrees left of north?

Google Street view didn't show me anything too out of the ordinary when I looked in that direction, but I think someone else should take a look.

I don't think it's a "coincidence" that there is something at that exact coordinate. You can change the last digit of the lat-long and it doesn't move the target. That amount of precision is good to a few inches.

I checked out all the images and came up with one that shows the quad lamp at that point.

Here is the link. The lamp is in the lower right corner.

Quad.... where have I seen that lately on the FIRST site ....?

Phil.

Well if you want to me be honest, if all it is revealing is the number 4, yea we get that already.. The IR sensor is able to be programmed for 4 commands, hence the 4 leds. Nobody understands what the hell the IR sensor is actually gonna do.. Maybe if we figured that out first, this new clue might help a ton...

That was discussed earlier in the thread; someone's graphing job showed an arrow pointing directly at something called the Globe Cafe.

I THINK ITS THE ANSWER TO THE WATER GAME
drop the idea of boston figure out every connection to water with these numbers
NO it is not referring to a water game!

I highly doubt that the GPS cord. just happens to point us toward the hancock tower which happen to has a very interesting balancing system with 2 HUGE weights in it. AND as Aren said dave's face book was "truckin" there also is a song and now we have to HUGE weights in the picture! ITS GPS

Just remember that Dave changed his facebook status AFTER I posted my "Truckin'" theory.

Did he change it to "truckin" or away from truckin

Well, not that I'm confused but...
what does truckin' have to do with weight/counterweight?

Well the only thing i could see from higher up, was the Letters EI in that building there. I dont think that helps with anything.. but its never something to be ignored.

I'm not actually sure, I don't know where the connection was made. I just wanted to remind them that Dave's status can't be taken as confirmation, since it came after my post.

I still dont think its just a coincidence that its pointing almost to a building with 2 HUGE weights in the roof of it... you dont see that every day

depends on your definition of "trucking" but i think 2 huge weights and a building moving underneath them has some reference to large masses moving

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 
I just googled counterweight to see if it is one word and went into Wikipedia.
Have you guys seen Dave's thread about Pixar?

Remember the desk lamp?

That is given as an example of a counterweight, I believe.

Here:

agreed*.

were gonna be movin large jugs of ice cold water. (just kidding rofl)


On a serious note, Lets think now. IR sensor, and moving weights... I really think we need to clean up that "342.242026"

We really don't exactly know why they threw that number at us.. we have ideas, but nothing solid. The coordinates are definitely a good lead, but were missing something big..

But what if we look in the oposite direction (i.e. have someone stand in that location and look in that direction, in which case, they would be looking at the north 'gate' of the square. In which case, there are 2 obelisks. Could that represent anything?

I have an image of it:
The 'obelisks'
