Which likely means it came from a book, and that's the text on the reverse page. (In other words, likely not a part of the clue.) :(

Note. Look at my Rookie Year. I wasn't around then, but the challenge of that Teeter-Totter has always intrigued me ever since I read about it.

after a lil time in gimp, the test is backwards and there is another image of a shrak behind the fish, thus i believe that this is a scanned imaged from a book

What about a moon-shaped hovering disk as a game piece?

You might have gotten that information faster if you had spent the time reading the thread instead of playing with the Gimp. :) I have the impression that what's on the other page is a channel catfish rather than a shark, but I don't think it's relevant.

(And I might have understood you faster if you typed more slowly and paid closer attention to spelling, but I'll attribute the test/text and shrak/shark to your being excited about the hint.)

Ah heck, I was thinking the shrak was a distant cousin to the shrek. I can't imagine having to reel in a shrek um, shrak.

Nevermind.

What if it is a simple as moon + fish.

Moonbuggy--collecting rocks/transporting things around (look at FLL robots transporting items for survival of people on mars)

Fish---fish have a lateral line which is a series of nervous sensors which pick up vibration in the water for protection or finding food. So robots "sense" things like lights, etc.

in regards to fish anatomy and morphology---they do have swim bladders. the playing pieces could be some type of "balloon"

The obvious is so hard to see sometimes...
Really? Are you sure?

The fish is the Opah alson known as the Spotted Moonfish. Since water and electricity don't get along I suspect something dealing with the moon.:yikes:
