AHHHH there is way to much symbolism!!

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

well you could compare the obelisks to a pivot point, as in the wikipedia. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...e_diagram..png

might sound stupid, but that image may very well represent the field... think about it, we have the ideas of counterweights, and if that image is what were after with the obelisks... well then.. put the two together and you got yourself a lever, something on it probably controled by IR, and it has counter weights..

I actually think the important part of the "Truckin'" reference (if it's real) is the chorus:

Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

sure why not.


Sometimes the light's all shining on me - Im not a disabled robot
Other times I can barely see - the other teams human player made me unable to do anything, via their IR remote..


Lately it occurs to me - that i have no freakin idea what these clues mean

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

I think that it'll involve both references just a hunch (probably completely wrong:D )

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

of course your completely wrong :yikes:

(heh i had to):D

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

anybody believe that this could be polar coordinates

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

give it a shot, see what you get, its possible, we dont have any proof of anything ;)

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

Ya this whole coordinate thing was basically someone bored wondering if it was possible that they were coordinates? so hey anything is possible at this point

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

and that is exactly what i said before.. Lets try and sit back for a minute, and look at the big picture.. Those numbers, the First hint we received.. Be creative here. Those coordinates point to a freakin lamp post.. god

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

polar coordinates can accually find the polar curve of an object such as a radio antenna to find the distance it can travel and where it came from like finding the epicenter of an earthquake

Edit: at least that is what i'm reading off the math site im on for calculus level stuff.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

Great. I get back from working on my new house.... and the speculation floodgates are blown wide open.... again.

Didn't sift through the pages beyond 4 or so, but have we made any use of the fact that the IR board is meant to be programmed?

Just throwing it out there.

Does light bend in mirrors?

I'm thinking about another spotlight Dave made of Mr. Kressly's comment about water, air-water interface.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

I thought of the same thing, but why 3 numbers (and the negative number kinda throws it off).

I just think it cant be a coincidence that the first 2 numbers land EXACTLY in the middle of a public place in the middle of major city. It's near impossible (like the chances of an asteroid hitting a major city, instead of in an ocean, as three-fourths of the Earth is water)!

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

depends on the type of mirror.
It bends in rear silver mirrors (normal mirrors)
it doesn't bend in front silvered mirrors(those used in projection tvs)
