Jupiter and Saturn are kinda sorta really far away (telescope?), roller coasters, airplanes, Penn Station (trains), flight across the pacific (distance/transportation), radar (detecting objects from a distance), satellite launch (more distance), descent (depth-->distance). |
Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
Now if we take Dave's morse code and add in the fact of the anniversary of the roller coaster, and the fact that FLL was about transportation - we have something to do with tracks/rails!

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
IMHO, the GDC isn't going to do an agregate theme based on a lot of different events that fall into some category("It's a remote sensing themed game because it's the 75th anniversary of radar, the 50th anniversary of the weather satellite, and the 400th anniversary of Galileo's discovery!"). Instead, if there's an event theme at all, it will probably be something that's well known, has an anniversary that's a multiple of five or ten, and has some relevance to FIRST's mission.
...of course, now that I've said that, the game will probably turn out to be "keep a radar dish pointed at Jupiter while on a roller coaster" |

OK so, if you move your screen to amplify the reflection, you can see holes on the underside of the poles. That suggests that they attach to something, the coupled with the holes on the lexan. However, the orientation, the "what they attach to", and function sadly remain a mystery. However, my best guess so far, is that if you orient this vertically, it seems to be some sort of shelf, however, that doesn't account for the hole in the lexan. Oh well, this will bug me until kickoff.
On a side note, it kinda sorta looks like a person skiing, maybe that has something to do with the name of the game, if it's not actually a part we will see or use. $.02 |
Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
i've read through some of the pages of replies, and i really like the ideas of tracks/transportation.
when i looked at the picture it looked like you could have two of these mounted across from each other to make a 'limbo bar' or something. my idea is; what if there are multiple bars or overhead tracking that we have to navigate boxes, or some other game piece down from, then score somewhere. think something like one of those annoying sliding puzzles, where you have to move multiple pieces around to get the one you want either way, i think maneuverability is going to be really important in this year's game. |

When have FLL games and FRC games ever been similar? I mean, the Mars FLL game was several years behind the Moon FRC game... |

and what i think our downfall is the fact that we keep saying that we "Like what we see".... We want to see the water game, so we do... We hope that it turns out with tracks.... (It doesn't start off this way of course but around 30th page of the thread it starts to head off that way) My $0.02 for now |

Hoover Dam is an example of true engineering elegance, being both athesetically pleasing even in the smallest detail and yet very functional, but it is probably not significant enough an engineering acheivement to commemorate with a game a year early. I think it is safe to scratch Hover Dam off the list. Carry On ChrisH |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
Has anyone checked into any NASA anniversaries of late?
If you do, spend some time checking out their website. It is awesome. |
Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
OK
for those looking at the morse codes... anagram of the second sentence. "What is may not be." results in "Maybe As hint Two." :yikes: :ahh: so what does the first sentence give us?? |
Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
Does anyone who's made a model of these know if they stack in each other? This could be a ladder for robots to step on or something.

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
I hope that this is a water challenge. The metal pipes can be where the propellers would go and the plastic would go all around the electrical board and stuff

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
You guys, the water game has already been announced.
