Hmm...Doesn't look like this is going to tell us much of anything usefull. :p

But heres what I took from it;
The gate set-up looks a little different, not sure why
Appears to be carpet on the floor again
And Im guessing the yellow pieces are to protect the tripping hazard created by the wall buttress

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

The yellow things have velcro on the otherside and hold the side of the field down to the the carpet.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

Human players have to stand on the yellow plates?

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

What could the yellow plat forms be for. It appears they are slightly elevated and not mounted on the standard round tube. Instead on an angled square tube.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

the yellow things are there to stop people from tripping over the supports. They have always been there.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

Looking at the shadow is the field going to be under low light?

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

Cool, we're driving on carpet. That's really all I can get from the picture.

I wonder if the field will be as empty as the model seems to indicate it will be. I guess FIRST hasn't put anything "on" the field since 2007.

Can someone with a CAD of a FIRST field guesstimate how long the segment we're viewing is, and what portion of the field is apparently empty space?

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

That was my first thought. Remember the pressure plates?

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

Interesting ... but how did we get from Post #8 to Post #9?

I don't see any link to Clue #2 from the FRC Landing page ... hmmm ...


As for the clue itself ... I'm fixated on the yellow pads ... will there be people standing on them? probably not ... too close to the rails ... perhaps they'll have game-pieces on them ...

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

The gates were larger on the new field they were trying out at River Rage.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

New robot dimensions maybe?

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

Were they significantly off center?

Also, another hunch. The first hint's filename was 1st Clue.jpg, while the second was 2010 Clue 2.jpg. Perhaps we're playing a big game of Clue; the first thing was the murder weapon, the second is the location, and the third clue will be whodunit!

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

I got it, I got it.



We will be playing a game on a field with robots.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

It would seem to suggest that.

I would certainly hope the gates needed to be moved towards the center of the field due to a very large game structure having obstructed the previous placements.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
 

This hint has some usefulness to it, so I will chime in.

I agree with Rob. My first thought was that robots will have to enter and exit from the middle of the field because the usual gate locations are now blocked by something such as goals or automatic game piece dispenser-type thingies, preferably surrounded by diabolical ramp- or step-like structures.
