It does happen. The picture of piece of the ball return for Breakaway was enough for many people to conclude that it was designed for something the size of a soccer ball. The close-up of the #5 spider leg for Rack 'n' Roll got a few thinking of translucent inner tubes. Aim High's "game piece obsessed with a shovel's show" got correctly decoded as "Just Shoot Me" and led us to conclude that things would be thrown, though "Montana's green heights" seemed to point more toward (American) footballs.

I don't think that's very likely. It would be too similar to Stack Attack back in '03.

I'd like another gander at that one. I was too much of a noob to appreciate it.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

I agree, it would be fun; i was only 9 years old then :yikes:

Sorry, Scott. I was all excited about Stack Attack possibilities.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

Your assuming large cubes, what if the the cubes were say 6in. This would pose a completely new problem as now the robots would need to control many cubes.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

I understand that the design process could be different, but the appeal and look of the game would be very similar to stack attack (unless we dumped them somewhere, but that would also be similar to other games in the past). I do like the idea thats been floating around FIRST however that the ball will be very small or very big this year. I think that it's a big possibility.

Spain won the 2010 World cup which "Breakaway" was based on. Too many connections.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, haven't read all the apges yet, but note how the image is reflected. We al know this by now, right? But think thy did they do it? Anyone know anything about the human brain and eyes? When light is taken in what the eyes see is the OPPOSITE of what it really is, right? In other words, reflected. So, this can suggested the heavy use or emphasis of an opptical game, aka cameras. I've noticed that over the past two years they've been introducing and putting more effort in encouraging people to use robotic sensors with the advantage of targeting and less guess work. So the game may potentially have more emphasis. I do remeber the year our team began they did say more sensors will be being used in competition.

I'll post more of my ideas later, this is all I can type up for no, currently at school.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

The size of the image is 252x281 pixels. 281-252=29. Hmmmmm. Probably nothing, but you never know..

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

And Hint 2 is 315 X 223. 315 - 223 = 92. Coincidence?

29 + 92 = 121. What year was it that Team 121 posted their working design about 3 weeks before Ship?

I believe that was 2008 Overdrive.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1
 

Well, Little Eva died in April, 2003. Perhaps that is a reference to the Stack Attack game in 03? :confused: Some have mentioned that this game may be a combination of previous games...
