New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

We might have our first game hint of the year!
Check it out at Bill's Blog: http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2009...o-do-with.html

He mentions 3 distinct shapes:
Diet Coke cans- cylinders
Crackerjack cases- boxes
Haagen-Dazs cups- frustums

Could these be the three shapes of next years game pieces?

Please look around the forum, I believe this clue is already under discussion and has been overly dissected.

This post from Bill's Blog has not been discussed, you are thinking of this thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=77965 about a post a few weeks later. The post that this thread is about has not been mentioned on CD.

I'm trying to figure out what any of those have to do with using one's head. Hmmm..... Any ideas?

well you have to eat them all.....collecting something?

I'm sure you all remember these...
I could see a game that involves sorting items. It'd just be incredibly challenging, and rely a lot on the new camera and/or the drivers

It just didn't have its own thread.

I still think that it has something to do with stacking things. Maybe on the robot as opposed to on the field in referrence to the bit about using your head (balancing on your head):confused: .

Sorry Eric, I don't follow much in this forum.

maybe you put the different game elements inside of the boxes?

If a game involving shape seperation & organization finally emerges in 2010, I will echo the statement of many with a great big "FINALLY!!!"

The idea of a game with that element to it has been discussed since I joined FIRST way back in 2001 - & I'm sure well before.... ::safety::

The ice-cream containers... I'm telling you! Its a lamp-shade!

Re: New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?
 

Hmm what about a tetris game? The idea was tossed around at a robot demo today, and it does make a bit of sense with the different shapes bit. Don't have the first (pardon the pun) clue how you'd make a robotics game out of it though.

Edit: Oops, thanks iCurtis (Silly spell-check >.<).

I think Mr. Pockets might have meant tetris. Tetras does fit rather nicely though...
