Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

Ok I maybe just looking at it too much, but does it look like the shadows are laying against the floor angling upwards?

That may be because the light source is to the left of the camera, most likely low.

Looks like a flag to me. Or Balls on a Rail.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

there seems to be a mismatch in the shadows, the ramp's shadow seems to be to small for where the light source seems to be coming from? but CAD programs put the shadows in for you so I don't know what to make of it all.

the gate in this photo isnot in the old spot neither is it in the middle, my team set up the field in okc and i know the gate was between two side pieces the middle is one piece that said the only other way it could be oriented going off the yellow pieces is half way between the middle and the old position

This is very interesting and I agree. This can still support that the gates are more in the middle because of game structures on the side.

Can you explain more/show pictures? I want to understand this better.

Just curious but where did you get those pictures from?

The track from hint #1 is not in hint #2.
so where is it? Well if the field is symmetrical then we can multiply the hint#2 view by 4. we are now seeing almost 1/3 of the total field surface. The area we cannot see is the middle and the two ends.
The track from hint #1 seemed to want to be attached to other pipe. Thus the long pair of pipe must be somewhere we cannot see. I suggest it be against the ends of the field. Because the lexan frame that holds the pipe would need to be mounted to some support.
:)

What if we are thinking of the Clue #1 as small... What if is was huge, and spanned the field. :D And the robots have to hand game pieces in the holes, while being able to drive under it! :D Pure evil! Small holes, low clearance. :D

I think personally that clue #1 was a piece that is inserted inside the two guard rail and has a goal or something attached to it. I don't know if this was said before but yeah that is my idea on the relationship between these two clues.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

I think we may be going about this wrong. Bill has previously stated that FIRST is striving to get teams at least 10 qualification matches.

"FIRST is striving to ensure all FRC Regional Events have a minimum of 10 qualification rounds." (Bill's Blog September 29th.)

The first hint appears to be a field element with quick-connect couplings for easier, more efficient set up. The second hint is a gate - maybe a third gate or wider gate to make match reset more efficient.

The hint - play faster. We want more matches!

Just a thought.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

In my opinion, the message being communicated is that we are back on carpet this year. I'm curious about the lack of plastic siding, as mentioned before.

I'm with you on that. Thank the Lord for carpet. That floor last year was pure evil. Sure was fun though! :D

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

My guess is that this photo is being used to communicate 2 things: 1) WE ARE ON CARPET!!! Praise God. 2) assuming the field is built symmetrically, the 1st game hint is somewhere else on the field.

I know both of these issues have already been presented. My main reason for posting is to say that I don't see the ramp size or yellow pads to be part of the actual hint. Yet again, WHO KNOWS! I never guess right lol
