Hmm... Well, it's tough to tell. But, that looks like Wilma Rudolph. She was an Olympic sprinter and relay runner for the US at the 1960 Rome games. That explains the Greek column. So, climbing? Sprinting? Handing off batons in a relay? The possibilities are almost endless.

HTH,

Can we DDOS a site yet?

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

In a more serious thought I think the importance is on the column being there and not necessarily what type of a column it is. I also think there might be more cryptographic meta data info we need to dig up. I'm just really glad they didn't give us some random new field part rendering...

David wins! (no, didn't figure out the game. just the image.)

(Future note: This link expires 72 hours from posting.)

EDIT: Thanks to all who hinted that the image was reversed. A little GIMPing and re-Tineye-ing produced this.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

I've used multiple reverse image search tools, looked through everything Florence Ballard along with a multitude of her peers and groupmates, and can't find anything even close to this picture.

We could just focus on the pole and say... hey, that pole looks a lot like FIRST's ubiquitous pole goals from 1996, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2009...

edit: Ooh, nice find David. Here's Wikipedia on her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Eva

Reverse the image before searching in TinEye

It's Little Eva

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

don't have time somebody analyze this, locomotion?

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

OK, if that's Little Eva as David found in his reverse image search, then her big hit was "Locomotion". Another cart/trailer game?

It's obvious!

Recording star means albums. Column means the goal.

We will be stacking discs on various columns while sloshing around in 3 feet of water. It's a water game!

:)

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

known by the stage name of Little Eva (after a character from Uncle Tom's Cabin)

Maybe the game has to do with a history reference.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

Perhaps look at important events from 1943 (when she was born) and 2003 (when she died). First one I noticed from 1943: first ejection seat for an aircraft was used. :eek:

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

I feel like "The Loco-Motion" is the bigger picture to this.

Then again, the hint comes from the GDC. Anything goes.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

Most FRC games have some type of historical reference to them.

Lunacy for the lunar landings, Breakaway for the world cup, etc...

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

The image is reversed, kind of like a mirror. What kind of game can we play with mirrors?

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

"Locomotion" sounds like a wonderful possible name to the 2011 game...
