Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint

I think we're missing something here. We've given many possible explanations for the numbers. What do you all think about the punctuation marks? The GDC doesn't usually take an obscure piece of data about the game, encrypt it, surround it with a bunch of useless crap that can be ignored, and then send it out to us as a hint. Every character in the hint is (usually) significant in some way.
I was thinking about the different uses for the two punctuation marks used ("/" & ","). Slashes are usually used to denote "or". I had an idea that this clue might present potential trade-offs we will face in the game. Slashes are also used for dates and other things (feel free to expand on this). Commas are used in lists. They're also used in coordinate systems (which would give us three terms if applied to these numbers). Are there any more obscure uses for these symbols that anyone knows of?
