Game Hint # 2

Good Morning Teams,

Take your machine out of the shop on Colorado in Paramount;
stop by and get connected on Central in Phoenix;
drive by and make a pickup on Minnetonka in Minnetonka;
then head to the field on Evergreen in Dover.

23 Days until Kickoff
See you then

This reminds me of the 2006 game hint- it was a riddle which mentioned Montanta's green heights, or something along those lines.

It sounds like there are different tasks in different locations? A lot of people talked about different "levels" or the possibility of platforms with the first game hint, this would still be consistent here.

I wonder if the pattern of the capitalized letters matters at all? CP, CP, but then MM, ED. It looked like it was going for a pattern, and then it got cut off at the end, maybe this has some sort of symbolism?

Thoughts on what the places mean?

As a person who has lived in Minnesota (where Minnetonka is), when I read that I immediately think LAKE Minnetonka. It is a large lake in the suburbs of the Twin Cities. Lots of ice fishing in the winter.
Don't know what it means beyond that though.

Re: Game Hint #2
 

Since each of the terms in the ordered pairs are capitalized, they could be proper names. I looked, and in each of the cities listed (Paramount, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Minnetonka MN; and Dover, DE) there exists a street named for the first term in the pair. What does it mean? I have no idea.

Zamboines are made on Colorado Ave in Paramount CA.

Re: Game Hint #2
 

I agree with smurfgirl. A set of tasks. Less interaction between alliances.
1--move out af starting position
2-- hook-up with other bots-universal connector in kop?
3-- do task
4-- get to finish line

I like the sound of Evergreen. Perhaps the CMUcam is making a comeback, in some way that will allow it to be used all match. Or maybe a longer autonomous period, or even a self selected time for autonomous. That'd be nifty!
