I've watched it. It's just a bunch of people with retro hairdos dancing the locomotion. I sure hope they aren't trying to say that our robots will be controlled with DDR mats or something like that. Although it would make things interseting :rolleyes:

The spot llights make the shape of a triangle

The next hints could also make the shapes of the circle and square

OR The reversed album picture means that the field will be a reversed version of the first logo. WIN.

If you didn't notice, that thread was in the RUMOR MILL, and was discussing an earthquake that happened in central Indiana, in jest saying that it was related to the new game.

In other words, the code name is not "Kokomotion"; in fact, I don't know if it even has a code name.

Now: I suggest that anybody thinking they found something new and obvious read the first 5-10 pages of both game hint threads. It'll take half an hour and save a lot of annoyance when you figure out that 47 people already posted the same thing, 51 hours ago.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
 

At a leadership meeting today we were tossing around ideas, and 1 struck me as really interesting and quite possible. The shapes are different games pieces (as has been mentioned millions of times before), and the goal of the game is to sort pieces into different train cars based on their shape. (this train is moving, by the way). To expand on this thought, the human player would control the train by pressing a button that randomly changed the speed of the train.

Did anybody notice that star bucks change there logo too? No words around the logo, maybe the field will be covered in coffee beans. Just joking, as far hint 2. I noticed that the picture is magnified, that's probably why it looks like it is low resolution.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
 

I know what the game is. I'm not telling until saturday though. :rolleyes:

Unless he figured out the manual password.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this (or if it's significant) but her fourth finger on her right hand (in the first pic FIRST gave us) looks like it goes through the pole. Any significance there?

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
 

nice try.

Though around now the special people in charge of building the game elements are given the plans to build some game elements for kick-off locations. Plenty of people know the game by now and are just good people not to say a word.

And then there is Dave who just taunts us.... :)

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
 

Yeah noticed, did not work up a explanation as how it would fit in the game.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
 

Maybe he brute forced it :P

Isn't Gracious Professionalism great?

Though, with regards to that specific example, I was once told that the field set-up people were given partial plans of specific areas on the field, with no idea how they'd go together until a few days before.

I imagine a select number of folks at AndyMark have plenty of advance knowledge of the game. They have to design and make a kit chassis every year along with many other kit parts. They must be GP champions to keep a tight lid as long as they know about the game.
