The conclusion to reach here is that we will be inflating some object. We will be "Blowing-up the game piece". |

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
This hint explains a lot, but it can be interpreted many different ways. Some might say that the robots are going to hang off of this "column", i don't think the design committing is going to have the robots hang again this year. All of the game hints mean a lot, but you can really start designing, and think strategy wise, unless you see the actually game is. We'll all see what this hint means, on Jan. 8. :D

I really enjoyed "blowing up" the wall of bins in 2003. We haven't really had a game since then where robots get to contribute to the entropy of the game pieces in such a dramatic fashion. 2004 had a bit of it with the ability to release the balls in the overhead bins early, but it wasn't THE centerpiece of the game. That kind of dynamic is always a crowd-pleaser, too. Blowing up a wall of inflatable clowns - with trains - I could deal with that. Bring it on. |

We also know that bumpers are involved, and if Bill annouced them that "early", we can assume there is a good deal of contact or at least multiple elements on the field they are trying to protect.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
Hmm... What about instead of locomotives we think of locomotion... like climbing up the stairs / steps that have been hinted about in every other hint ever?!?!?!

I'm still recovering from 'loco-motive' - this one is going to require CPR. Good luck to 25 this upcoming season. :) Jane |

What he means is locomotion, as in the type of motion used to climb stairs. The up and forward motion that your legs make as you climb stairs, or the "chug" that a train makes to move the wheels. |

--->maybe a 2 min 15 sec tele-op to start, with 15 sec hybrid @ end to climb object for bonus points |
