Re: Get ready for a
 

These numbers defninitly are not something that would get piped into the IR board, at least over IR. There weirdly exact for pulse widths, one's negative(?). Maybe there's a hidden serial mode that dumps out the entire game manual on it :)

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

yeah i think they are established enough to find these coordinates on there.

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

Those are spherical coordinates.

Oh boy.....We are gonna be launching something.

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

i already ran the numbers check my first post on page 12

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

hmm that would be interesting to be launching something but how would those numbers be of any importance to us right now?? that is if the were coordinates for launching stuff.

Quad Quandary is the name of this years FTC game...

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

well accually polar coordinates can be used to find polar curves too, and maybe there maybe another thing, remember the mirror thing what if these numbers tell us something about the reflection of those mirrors at these numbers.

Honestly, i don't think this hint has anything to do with the IR board

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

I would have to agree with you there

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

My point exactly....

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

So....
42.349905
-71.076072
342.242026

I have read through all of this & I have only come up with questions. I guess I'll throw them out there like I would with my team.

1. How accurate are the coordinates?
1a. What does the Hancock tower look like?
1b. What is in John Singleton Copley's hands? (only thinking this because of that crazy Dave)
1c. What is in our hands... thinking....?
2. Has anybody tried to search the numbers in something other than Google earth?
2a. If you think the first 2 numbers are coordinates, what id the third number? ( I know that has been discussed about at great length) What if we are off on all 3 numbers?



So...
After all of my thinking I'll leave you with this (& I hope I hasn't been discussed because it took me a half hour of thinking to come to this.

What is in the reflection of the John Hancock tower? The 2 Old Hancock Towers. What is at the top of the Old Hancock Tower? I'll let you figure that out.

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

three numbers triangulation, two buildings reflected off of a third. hmmmm


any body smart enough to brake out sin cos tan cot cos sec on these numbers? sadly i am not

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

In the top floor of the tower there are two huge 300 ton weights to help the building stay straight. On top of the building there is an observation trolley on tracks that was closed down because of the world trade center crash. I think the coordinates are more concerned towards that building because it is very unique in the way it looks (the other 2 reflecting) and the way it works (the giant weights) As someone else has said the EXACT coordanants point to a LIGHT POLE!! geez! common

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

Well, I at least did the usual google search for each individual number. Nothing comes up for any of the 3 numbers except for this CD thread, which means prior to the e-mail being sent out nothing came up at all on google for these numbers.

Maybe the GDC is telling us all we do this game is stand there and do nothing :p

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

i went out on a limb and searched it on google mars (yes they have google mars) and it doesnt support coodinates
(i know there is probably no corrilation but worth a try)

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

Something I noticed is that it is also on St. James Ave. Anybody up for a game of Monopoly? No sleep for me for the next 2 weeks. :ahh:
