A rainbow is arched...arched structure on the field? Also...counterweights/fulcrums could reference a "teeter-totter" field element as other robotic games have used in the past (Woodie had one as an element in one of his classes that was highlighted on a PBS special many years ago)...imagine a huge teeter totter center field and low barriers like 2003?? Ok, enough already...my 4 cents...
I hope and pray FIRST will never do the teeter totter again. It was a diaster that year.

woodie flowers clue does say something about being careful with jello. jello is unstable just as the building would be without the 300 ton weights. hmmmm

It was very unstable. engineers actually had to shut it down and add about 3 million dollars of steal cross beams because it was swaying way to much.

Remeber the GAME TIP IT, you add weights to tip it one way or the other.

I'm sorry, did you mean swaying? I got a visual of a building 'sawing' other buildings and it had to straighten up and stop.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 
ok so i have been mulling this over and i have a theory... that is pure speculation

first lets look at the song

Sometimes the light's all shining on me--regular field lights on
Other times I can barely see-- black lights on, field lights off
Lately it occurs to me-- i have nothing
What a long strange trip it's been-- i got nothing


The first two numbers are the coordinates pointing to the light pole with 4 lights. This is referencing the FTC game Quad Quandary. The FRC game will be essentially the same except we will have circles, squares and triangles to put onto corresponding posts. As for the third number, it is the approximate wavelength of black light so randomly the field lights will go out and black lights will come on. The posts that we have to score on will be emitting different IR frequencies and that is how the robot will know what post it is in front of during autonomous and when the black lights are on because the drivers will not be able to see the posts.

Very cool concept that would look cool to because you can actually see the infa-red signal in black light. its cool

In refrence to the weights in the top of the building, I think episode 4 of the first season of Numb3rs deals with a building being unstable when the wind struct the building at a certain angle. The solution, if memory serves me, was to add the system of moving weights on the roof.

Just a possiblility, remember one years hint was "a shovels show" in refrence to Davis Spade of just shoot me. :D

Interesting... Its weird how woodies hint about jello is actually somewhat relevant since we have this huge building which at one point was very "jelloish" as well. (unstable)


ok so not exactly jello but hey its a thought.

I think Andy Grady was talking about this earlier, if it is the same kind of idea.
