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.
No surprises there, we should have already known that!

The folks at AM have to sign a very strict non-disclosure statement. If they leak any info they would be out of business.

If I had a dollar for every time Mark said to me "I can't tell you" .......................

I've often thought that those who made mock-up fields for remote Kick-Off's were probably given an entire set of field drawings, but no manual. Without game rules and knowing the game piece, anyone could be given drawings of the field and not really be able to make much use of them.

Oh, and I heard that Andy Baker already knows what 2030's game is and it already working on the kitboat for that. ;)

This is true. I helped out for the kickoff in Rochester last year, and on the day of the reveal, a few hours early, the kit arrived and everyone who promised not to say a word helped put it all together. We just saw a top view of the field and then a page for assembling the tower, two bumps and the human player station. There was nothing that said what each part was or what it was used for, we had to guess. Didn't matter too much, 2 hours after finishing it up the webcast started.

It was really cool to actually hold that kind of serious secret position, ::rtm:: even if it was for only two hours and a webcast. haha

Maybe this new hint has no new information, it could just be a confirmation of the "locomotion" idea. The shapes are linked like train cars...

In 2030, we will be flying 3D CAD's of our robots via human gestures and no controls. The physics engine will be so real, the 3D technology so awesome, and the audience so large that Verizon and ATT will have to make whole new business plans to compensate for the insane increases in bandwidth to viewers' mobile devices.

Andy Baker told me so himself.

My awesome cool friend looked at the hints and said "You might have to link something together..."

Which when combined with Little Eva's hit single being entitled " The Loco-Motion", leads one to suspect that maybe it is related to trains in some sort, or Locomotion in general. I agree though, this could be a more subtle reaffirmation of Locomotion being involved.

Remember the game couldn't invole track or trains because the 'bots would always be crashing right? Right???:eek:

The tracks and "boxcars" (hoppers or gondolas) could be on an OVERPASS ! !

I have a theory.

CD receives the most new members during game hint season.

I'd venture to say that's a truth.

As opposed to robots running around anywhere on the field and crashing?

PS As a newbie, you may want to review what Gracious Professionalism means ( http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/conte...rofessionalism ) and decide whether that applies to your signature.


EDIT: Hmm, this just popped up as a spotlight post: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=44 What goes around, comes around.
