I have no useful input on the clue, but I'm terribly curious if the GDC ever stops to consider the effect their clues might have on the Google ranks of all these different words and phrases. I mean, Opah probably saw the biggest jump in popularity ever last week...

Won't someone think of the poor confused search engine optimizers?

As a Viking fan, I immediately thought of the Vikings 'love boat scandal', which occured on Lake Minnetonka. Hopefully this has nothing to do with the new game, because that would probably be a poor choice by FIRST...

Re: Game Hint #2
 

On google maps all Coordinates indicated by the clue end up going from near the west coast (The Paramount Cafe in Denver, Colorado and the town of Central, Phoenix) To the midwest (Minnetonka, Minnesota) To the East (Evergreen Field in Dover, Ohio).

If you put all of the points together it forms triangle similar to the one in the FIRST logo, so it might have a connection to what the game piece is this year, and it seems that there are going to be different actions related to the game piece (picking up, connecting) and then we need to place it somewhere ( The field) No clue how this relates to the fish though.

On Minnetonka Industrial Rd is the Honeywell facility and St. Jude Medical. Minnetonka Blvd has lots of government offices for Minnetonka.

Someone on my team thought of a sort of "delivery" thing. Having to collect a bunch of things and delivery them. He made this guess based off the first clue (his train of thought was moonfish->shooting the moon->collecting hearts->collecting a bunch of something, craziness)

I think this hint sounds like a delivery.. not sure about the specific places though...

Re: Game Hint #2
 

try looking at google maps street level camera dealy,

there are forklift cranes ouside on colorado ave, in paramount CA,

all of the central ave, st, & drives in phoenix connect to a 1st ave, st, drive.

there is a truck with a trailer when you get to the ground level camera for Minnetonka Blvd, minnetonka, MN

and there is a football field, off of evergreen dr, dover OH so maybe some sort on end zone, scoring area

Re: Game Hint #2
 

There is some kind of football filled on Evergreen Dr, Dover, OH.

Re: Game Hint #2
 

Start with our Zamboni on a slippery surface, get some data from Microsoft, pick up a football in MN and play with it in Ohio.

Re: Game Hint #2
 

I think it would be sweet if the robots started in a garage (shop)
Had to form a train of some sort
Go ice fishing
& then play football.


BUT since i am really really bad at these things... Have Fun & I'm going back to ignoring the game hints.

It is interesting that on Nov. 13th there was a spike in searching for Opah. That was before the hint came out. I guess Dave was looking to see what we would find in a search.

i cant stop laughing!!! your not the only one!

Re: Game Hint #2
 

It's all gibberish to me, but i'll guess anyway.

good morning teams = there is a bright light up high.

paramount = steep terrain

evergreen = green light (to be used with the Ethernet camera)

I think this year will heavily depend on getting a camera to work. Before with the CMU camera the micro controller was barely able to use it. But, now we have a whole computer to control a camera.

other than that i have no idea. I like the idea of a triangle shaped match though.
