i just wikipedia'd locomotion and one of the things that came up was "Robot Locomotion"
here's the quote from Wikipedia...

Quote:
Robot locomotion is the study of how to design robot appendages and control mechanisms to allow robots to move fluidly and efficiently. Although wheeled robots are typically quite energy efficient and simple to control, other forms of locomotion may be more appropriate for a number of reasons (e.g. traversing rough terrain, moving and interacting in human environments). Furthermore, studying biped and insect-like robots may impact biomechanics.

A major goal in this field is in developing capabilities for robots to autonomously decide how, when, and where to move. However, coordinating a large number of robot joints for even simple matters, like negotiating stairs, is difficult. Autonomous robot locomotion is a major technological obstacle for many areas of robotics, such as humanoids (like Honda's Asimo).
looks like we might have to build some arms and legs
and if we have arms and legs you know what that means...
ROBOT BOXING :P

EDIT: nevermind someone beat me to it

If this hint has anything to do with mirrors, what if the field was divided in half by a giant, robust mirror to where the drivers could only see what their alliance is doing. Non-contact game...?

But then if there is, it may be confusing for the drivers who are use to seeing a full field.

Or the second half :ahh:

I saw many of you have reminded the "train issue"
how about teams will have to work to work together in the "train method" just like in relay races, having to move a game piece from a robot to a robot?
maybe each robot in the alliance will stand on a different stair i.e on different heights?::rtm::

The way I have seen some of the drivers drive (myself incuded), the mirror wouldn't last long. By the way, soccer is supposed to be a non-contact sport, but my kids have been the hospital with various contusions and such more times than I like to remember. Non-contact is a relative thing.

The image is reversed - maybe autonomous in the second half. The first half would be setting yourself up for autonomous mode.

Locomotion reminds us all of trains, and so it's probably related to the game somehow. However, FIRST does a great job of making these clues very vaguely attached to the game.

Example:
In 2009, the Moon fish related to the moon, which relates to Lunacy. Even if they said "MOON GAME", there is no way that we could get the Lunacy game from that.

Until we have the lurking variable, or 'lurking clue', have fun guessing :p

There was no baseball in Triple Play. There will be no trains involved in this game.

I wonder if any of us has even come close? We have spread a fairly wide net over some of the possabilities, I just wonder how close we were. Back in 2009, one person guessed that the Zamboni facotory near one of the LAT/LONG clues meant that we would be playing on ice. He was close, but who would have believed it?

ah yes I strongly agree!

ooooo - ramp opportunities. Ramps, anyone? :)

Hmm.. maybe combining something the chairman winner from the last year does into this year's game? (Miss Daisy holds a competition called RAMP Riot!)

Two points that may interest me:
1. Locomotion, by Little Eva, came out in 1960
2. Haagen Daaz, opened in 1960 - with Vanilla, Chocolate and Coffee ice cream.

I like this!

How about different levels, with a pole (or tracks?) to climb to get to them. Bots are on different levels, and have to rely a game piece to them. Auto is at then end, and bots each start on a different level. You can move between them, or rely on your alliance?

Something like that maybe?
