I agree with you, that does REALLY sound like Gracious Professionalism (hint hint, you might want to run this be the judges at the competition ;D)

Theres only one thing, FIRST has never had a web search that leads us to a quote at some random web site.

As I was catching up this with the forum today there were still too many people way over thinking this. Step back, this clue isn't that hard.

I personally still stand by my newest idea that we are all Fish out of water

Re: Game Hint #1
 

hmmm....

someone needs to go through and do what i did last year...

take all the ideas so far and put them into categories and then post all the main categories onto CD.

that way we can filter out what has already been said and help stimulate the production of fresh new ideas.

I would do it myself but i've got finals tomorrow and tuesday. (then im done w00t!).

thats my 2 cents.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

you guys are missing the obvious and i have already solved the clue


according to its wiki page it is also known as the "Jerusalem haddock" so clearly we are building machines to combat the anti-christ.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

I still stand by the belief we're just "fishing" for something.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

I love fish

Re: Game Hint #1
 

I think with all of the rumors of it being a water game this is why FIRST chose a game hint such as a fish to kind of mess with us. I dont think that they will allow the risk of the brand new electronics system that has just been put out on a water game, impossible. But i think the fish is a funny game hint that can tie into something else such as the fish being a moonfish and there being a moonlike terrain.. :rolleyes:

Re: Game Hint #1
 

After all of this opah talk im ready for a nice moonfish fillet with a side of fries...who is with me?:rolleyes:

Re: Game Hint #1
 

Hey good thought... maybe this game hint is really just news that Dave is opting for a healthier diet, and has replaced his usual Krispy Kremes with opah. Fish is brain food, you know.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

i like the idea of fishing, fishing is relaxing, i have no idea what robot fishing will be like though... could be difficult.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

Here, here!!! :D Although my family just had catfish yesterday, so it's all good...

Re: Game Hint #1
 

I messed with tha original picture from the usfrist site to see if I could make out the text behind the fish. Can anyone read this? Just trying to help.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

Since some people hate me for it (though that doesn't matter) I'll spare the image to show you where it is.
But, searching the thread would've yielded a few beneficial posts, including three or five which already concluded that the background text is either irrelevant or too distorted to figure it out.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

Hmmm, the words look like they are either in a different language, or are backwards... Try reversing the image and doing the same thing. I think that the image was scanned directly out of a book, and the little pieces of image behind the fish look like another fish, so I'm concluding that the text has nothing important to do with he game and is just a detailed summary of some other fish :P.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

true, but you have to remember that everyone is really excited, and when people get excited, things get rushed.

Re: Game Hint #1
 

It would be REALLY mean if FIRST were to have all sea related images, and not have the real game be water related. Or just naming a term "Fishing" or a game peace "Bait".

No matter what, a water problem is out of the picture. People have said there is a danger of shocking yourself, shorting the bot, etc. Yet, no one has said that it is nearly impossible to actually test the robot. Our high school doesn't have a pool, and I don't think that the rec-center down the street would be to happy with something contaminating/ chipping the bottom of their pool.
