just analyzing what other people have said, just an unload of thoughts; (the beginning of many ;) )

This makes me think of how in the "Aim High" game there had to be a backbot that could only stay in one portion of the field during the game. It may be possible that there could again be several parts to the match, or a certain period in time where bots can only stay in a certain area.

Speed could be essential, or at least quick moving, seeing that a synonym for nimble is agile, my guess is that there will some sort of signal that robotics will need to respond to quickly, could be connected to the autonomous or hybrid mode, or if it's as complicated as it could be it could be additional signals throughout the game.

As for the whole "moonfish" nickname there's so much that could be connected in reference of the moon part of the name I'm not going to get into detail about that. not today. lol

If only this game hint came out after I had finals... haha :rolleyes:

First could come up with a better clue for the word morphology than a picture of a fish...

You not going to solve this clue, or any other clue by finding hidden text at extreme contrast levels or breaking down color channels.

There's a reason for this fish. The best thing I could recommend would be to start finding meaningful anagrams of Lampris guttatus.

That's funny.....

Perhaps the MOON fish is a vague reference to Mike Singletary and his locker room antics. Robots with pants???

:0)

Did anyone think this could be in relation to the band PHISH getting back together for the first time since 2004?

That could mean we could be doing a FIRST frenzy style game with elements from the past few years all combined. I hope that is it, as I would love a multidimensional game.

well this seems like a waste of time, has anyone actually ever gotten a clue right before and gave them an advantage?

It most certainly is a waste of time, but it would take a lot more than one post by stop this train now.

Kinda, but it didn't help.

Yep. Back around 2006, Dave's ramblings gave a lot of hints-- but that didn't help. Same with the official hint-- and only one portion was really solved correctly. You wouldn't remember who got it right, now, would you?:p


This hint will be painfully obvious in hindsight. They all are.

I believe once, but so close to the Kick-Off that it didn't matter anyway.

Besides, this is FIRST. We thrive on following seemingly-nonexistent leads. :D This is fun for us. And as stated earlier, nothing will stop us from speculating. Is this a waste of time? Yeah. Do I have anything better to do than look too deep into a picture to find a hint? No, not really. :p

It's all in good fun.

"Gap Stairs Tumult." They did warn against designing before the season...

I believe that a change in field is in order. And NO, not water. Something slippery perhaps or on the other hand, something squishy and gummy. Scales indicate scaling objects larger than we are used to. That's all I'm saying for this "hint." Ha.

I think there will be other hints that come along as well. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

The GDC seems to let us run the line out as far as we can go, exasperating ourselves and everyone else. Then they throw out another hint and we start again. Chumming, right Libby? :D

If you stay within the framework of 'entertaining', the lure isn't as attractive, easing the tug of the hook as it sets.
