The hint does hold information, we just don't know what that information is.

And there may be other hints. They may be transparent enough to make connections or see connections with this one - then again - they may not be.

Some fun reads are the past official hint threads. For those who want to see how accurate the guesses/hints were and see how fast the threads grew - read them. It's great fun.

Edit: in the first few pages of this thread, a lot of the research was done regarding the fish, its habits, how it swims, what it eats, its different names, etc.

I think that Dave might just get a jello game...I think that maybe they will put fish into different colored/shaped jello(s) and make you remove the fish from the jello or stack different shaped "jello(s)", also the deal with the vertical migration might lead to having to go up ramps like maybe a multi-platform arena.

Does it have something to do with cameras and driving "blind"...

This article is linked to the Wikipedia's Opah:

Discovering long distance migration and deep diving behavior for large pelagics in the central North Pacific with pop-up archival transmitting tags.

“These tags collect data on the depth and water temperature the fish occupies, and use light data to estimate the daily location of the fish based on day length and time of sunrise and sunset.”

The exact image complete with the text can be found here: http://www.australianseafoodexports..../moonfish1.jpg

This means that FIRST didn't do anything. It might be something to note that the fish is not called Opah here but instead by the Australian reference a moonfish.

the non-image link is here:

If you would have read the thread, you would found that the picture was taken directly from a different web site and is unaltered text and all.

If you would have read about 24 hours ago you would see the reason for the different file size.

Re: Game Hint #1
 
I have to agree with what was stated earlier about the details of the fish being unimportant. I think the actual clue aspect of the image is the name or the fact it is a fish in general, or both possibly.

Maybe there will be holes (like moon craters) that you have to "fish" the game piece out of. Otherwise I would just say the name is important, and there is an uneven, moon like playing field.

My last suggestion is that they don't have a game designed yet, and are just taking ideas from what we say about the clues.

Maybe the sharks in the background represent the two alliances, and the fish just represents something they are both competing for? Some object?

But here's the real kicker. FIRST brought the picture into a photo editing program and changed the compression of the JPEG. Thus if they wanted to, they would have removed the background text (or if it had nothing to do with the game).

Thus, I believe, that the background text (be it the text itself, or the fact that it's there and/or it's backwards) was intentionally left there and is part of the hint.

So far we've only been able to read three words, "body" "deeply" and "forked/forced"
we aren't sure about the last one.

You can barely see (if even at all) any text in the original image on the FIRST website.
Bottom line, they probably didn't even know the text was there.
The basics of "Fish, Opah, & Moonfish" is the best clues we have to go on.

Re: Game Hint #1
 
I still find it ironic that just a few days before this was posted. I posted in the "No way thats going to happen" thread and said, there is no way that first is going to have a game that involves water or having a robot swim/dive. but look at it now. I dont know what FIRST is brewing but it has my attention. I hope to god we dont have to waterproof our electronics... otherwise every team will need spare.... EVERYTHING. LOL
